It is the very first fully electric-powered mini crane from Maeda. With absolute zero emissions, it can safely be used in sensitive indoor environments, and when regulations need to be achieved. Improved energy efficiency and productivity as well as reduced ventilation needs and maintenance costs are some of the benefits beyond the clear environmental aspect.

With a lithium-ion battery, this crane can be operated continuously for over 9 hours, and be fully charged in only 3.5 hours. On top of that, continuous operation is possible while charging which facilitates use. The crane capacity and operating speeds have not been compromised since it equals the regular MC285C-3. The battery-operated MC285CB-3 has a maximum capacity of 2.82-ton x 1.4m.

The maximum lifting height on the ground is 8.7m and the maximum working radius is 8.205m x 0.15t. All this is packed in this innovative piece of engineering that only weighs in at 2000kg. As always with products from Maeda Seisakusho Company Ltd. we can expect the highest quality and reliability together with great guarantees. White rubber tracks come as standard with black rubber tracks as an option. Operating the crane is easy and intuitive with the reliable and ergonomic paddle lever remote control passed on from the regular MC285C-3. Further, the well-appreciated Programmable Moment Limiter has also been included to ensure safe and smart work.

Work smarter – the green way of lifting
The approach and the way of thinking when using mini cranes is quite different from traditional crane work. A mini crane can come close to the object that is being lifted and therefore replaces big cranes with long booms which by their size actually distance themselves from the load. Due to the low weight of the MC285CB-3, it can easily be placed higher in a building and from there lift from above instead of blocking space with a large crane lifting from the ground level.

Having tried a Maeda crane, you know how very easy and safe they are to operate. With this fully electric MC285CB-3, Maeda can proudly be a part of building the future with zero emissions. The ever-evolving market is moving to a green way of lifting, and Maeda has now shown that they are playing a key role in the advancements.
