Manitex International, an international provider of truck cranes, specialized industrial equipment, and construction equipment rental solutions to infrastructure and construction markets, launched the ECSY-Electric Crane System in conjunction with opening day of CONEXPO-Las Vegas.

ECSY-Electric Crane System lifts applications in low noise and emissions-sensitive applications. It features a self-contained pin on design with a 480-volt electric motor and variable displacement hydraulic pump supplying power to the crane.

“Manitex is pleased to launch the first of its kind electric crane, yet another example of the industry-leading innovation that Manitex brings to market,” Jeff Long, general manager sales of Manitex, said. “The voice of the customer played a critical role in bringing this new and exciting optional module for the Manitex TC series cranes to market. The ECSY is designed to be easily moved from one crane to another in rental fleets that are equipped with the “ECSY Ready” package.”

“We at Rush Crane Systems believe that the ECSY product line will enable our customers to get the most out of their crane while having a positive impact on the environment,” Hunter Smith, rental manager for Rush Crane & Refuse Systems, said. “This is only the first step in our fleet transition, and with an innovative long-term partner like Manitex, we are very optimistic for the future of electrification in our industry.”

“At Manitex, we continue to listen to our dealers and end-users as we develop new, higher capacity cranes that are ideally suited for a wide variety of end market applications,” Long said. “Manitex is committed to bringing new, more efficient practical innovations to the global market to meet the growing needs of an evolving market and the introduction of ECSY is an important step in this evolution.”
