Overview
The BAUER MC 96 is a heavy-duty duty-cycle crane and specialist-foundation base carrier. Two 350 kN main winches, 35 t free-fall winches, a 45.4 m boom, a Caterpillar C18 diesel rated at 570 kW and an operating weight of approximately 120 t support diaphragm-wall grabs, pile-drilling grabs with casing oscillators, the BAUER TR 75 deep vibrator, oscillating vibrators, trench cutters and the Fly Drill. The 1,250 l diesel tank supports long shifts; BAUER states no AdBlue is required for the Tier 4 Final / Stage V configuration. The B-Tronic control system and Smart Grab Control functions support high-cycle grab work, while a rope-tightening system, Active Rope Assistant, winch control and rope weights assist dynamic-compaction work.
