Which model has the smallest footprint?
The MC2588-FAR is the lightest and most compact option, with an 8 ft HUB height, 8 ft span, and a weight of 2,776 lbs. This makes it the easiest to place in tighter work areas compared to the larger 10 ft and 12 ft span models.

What is the starting price for this crane series?
Pricing starts from $15,867. Exact pricing depends on the specific model chosen, since HUB height, span, and weight vary across the nine configurations listed, from the MC2588-FAR up to the MC251212-FAR.
