26 CRANES TODAY JMG’s pick and
carry cranes on display at Bauma 2025. From left to right: the JMG MC650S (red and white livery); the JMG-MC130S and JMG-MC45SB (yellow liveries); and the new JMG- MC100.08 (red and orange livery)
also showed a new crane at Bauma with pick and carry capabilities. It was the new MC405C-5 spider crane with a capacity of 3.83t × 2.7m, a maximum working radius of 16m × 0.21t, and a maximum lifting height of 16.8m. It can travel with 500kg on the hook. Italian pick and carry crane specialist JMG Cranes had a selection of pick and carry cranes on its Bauma stand including the new JMG-MC100.08 which was displayed without a boom. This was because it has an interchangeable boom; users can fit a 15-tonne capacity long boom or a short boom. This interchangeable boom concept is also adopted on JMG’s new five-tonne capacity MC15.08 (not shown at Bauma). The JMG MC100.08 had been bought by German lifting and transport specialist Maltan and a video of it on its first job can be seen here:

DOWN UNDER Heading to Australia, we come to Tidd and Franna (which is now part of Terex) who are big names in pick and carry here. Franna is headquartered in
Brisbane. For several years it has been engaged in expanding its scope, both geographically and in terms of its product range. Asia is a particular focus.
Franna has had its own manufacturing plant in Hosur, India, since 2021. It has recently expanded it, adding a new dedicated 3,500 square metre assembly hall to manufacture its first model designed specifically for the Asian market. The 17-tonne capacity FR17 four-wheel drive compact is designed by a team of Indian and Australian engineers to be a cost-effective machine pitched as an entry-level crane
