Manitowoc unveils new center
The PVC includes four test pads. The new test pads will allow staff to further test and analyse the performance of an entire crane while a new salt spray chamber will make it easier to analyse the corrosion resistance of components. Additionally, the facility has a series of unique test benches capable of testing slewing rings and drive line components. These are automated for 24/7 operation to achieve minimum testing times. The new PVC will speed up the product development phase for new designs, reduce warranty claims and on-site stoppages.
