Designed using direct customer feedback, the crane combines higher lifting capability with the mobility of a commercial roadable truck chassis , making it well suited for utility, construction and oil and gas applications . National Crane Introduces New High-Capacity Boom Truck National Crane  has unveiled the NTC80 boom truck  at CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2026 in Las Vegas , expanding its boom truck portfolio with a higher-capacity model designed for roadable lifting operations. The new crane delivers 80 USt lifting capacity  while maintaining the mobility and productivity required for projects that involve frequent travel between job sites . According to Bob Ritter, Director of Product Management at Manitowoc , the crane was developed directly from customer feedback. “The message we heard from customers was straightforward,” Ritter explained. “They needed more lifting capability, but the cranes still had to stay roadable and operate efficiently.” Designed for Frequent Jobsite Moves The NTC80 boom truck  was engineered for sectors where cranes must be moved and set up repeatedly throughout the workday. Typical applications include: Utility infrastructure work Construction projects Oil and gas operations The crane combines high lifting capacity with easy transportability , allowing crews to move quickly between lifting tasks without sacrificing productivity. Telescopic Boom and Jib System The NTC80 features a 156 ft (47.5 m) five-section telescopic boom , significantly expanding lifting reach compared with previous boom truck models. To further extend reach, the crane can be equipped with a bi-fold swing-away jib  measuring: 37 ft to 61 ft The jib can be positioned at 0°, 15° or 30° offsets , providing flexibility when working around structures or complex lift geometries. The crane also includes electric pinning , allowing faster deployment and stowage of the jib system. Modular Counterweight System Improves Transportability A trayless modular counterweight system  allows operators to configure the crane depending on job requirements and chassis specification. Available counterweight packages include: 12,000 lb standard configuration 18,000 lb heavy roadable configuration 24,000 lb maximum counterweight setup Counterweight slabs can be stacked in any order and removed hydraulically , helping crews optimise lifting capacity while maintaining roadability. Flexible Outrigger Setup for Tight Job Sites The NTC80  includes four-position outriggers  with a 24 ft full-span setup . For work in restricted areas, operators can also use an optional single front outrigger configuration , improving versatility on congested construction sites.
