The 24-year-old Manitowoc 2250 was overhauled to its original specifications with some modern upgrades.

Lampson International refurbished one of its Manitowoc 2250 crawler cranes at its facilities in Pasco, Wash., collaborating with Manitowoc's EnCORE team.

The remanufactured crane is in Lampson's rental fleet and will support its long-term, bare-rental business.

The 24-year-old Manitowoc 2250 was overhauled to its original specifications with some modern upgrades. The process included disassembly, sandblasting, magnetic particle inspections, a meticulous component rebuild and a variety of other tasks. The refurbished crane features upgraded electrical systems, hydraulic plumbing, rebuilt pumps and motors and a Tier II-compliant engine.

The cab was rebuilt with a new computer board. In addition, 10 updated control boards were installed throughout the cranes electrical system. The rotating bed received new bearings, seals and shim packs, as well as rebuilt hoist and boom hoist planetary drives. The carbody received similar treatment, with a new swing bearing, rebuilt motors and updated plumbing. The crane's load moment indicator (LMI) system also was upgraded.

"Compliance with Manitowoc factory standards was paramount throughout the process," said Bruce Stemp, director, quality assurance of Lampson. "By combining our decades of in-house expertise with Manitowoc's EnCORE program, we've transformed a reliable workhorse into a modern, efficient machine ready to tackle the most demanding projects. Our clients can feel confident in the quality and reliability of this newly rebuilt crane."

Lampson International has been a Manitowoc partner since the 1960s. It has an agile, family-owned structure with an unwavering commitment to customer satisfaction. The company plans to refurbish additional Manitowoc cranes in its fleet in the future, maintaining its position as one of the leaders in innovation within the heavy equipment rental industry.
