Overview
The MC 96 is one of BAUER's largest duty-cycle cranes engineered for large-scale special foundation works. Designed as a heavy-duty base carrier, it combines high lifting capacity, long reach and powerful on-board hydraulics to operate a wide range of foundation attachments reliably on demanding sites.

Key highlights

• Max. lifting capacity: 130 t
• Power: 570 kW (Cat C18 diesel)
• Main winches: 2 x 350 kN
• Boom length: 45.4 m
• Operating weight (approx.): 120 t

No compromises. Just performance.

• Maximum pulling force — 35 t free-fall winches
• Robust Cat C18 diesel engine for continuous heavy-duty operation
• No AdBlue required — Tier 4 Final / Stage V emissions concept (reduced maintenance)
• Intelligent assistance systems for precision, speed and operator comfort
• Heavy-duty boom for dynamic, high-load operations
• Large 1,250 L diesel tank for extended runtime
• High-pressure hydraulics to power demanding attachments
• Compact, maneuverable base carrier suitable for confined job sites

Smart Grab Control (SGC)

• Efficient grab filling
• Controlled grab turning
• Quick grab emptying by button
• Timesaving grab lowering speed boost
• Existing boulder recognition
• Stop-end loosening assistant

Options & Specialized Attachments

• Super Reach Attachment (SRA) to convert the MC into a high-performance Kelly drilling rig for large-diameter drilling and extended reach
• Hydraulic diaphragm wall grabs with hydraulic hose drum and grab turning unit
• Pile drilling grab for cased boreholes (compatible with casing oscillators)
• Bauer deep vibrator TR 75 powered from on-board hydraulics
• Oscillating vibrator variants with optional rear-mounted power pack
• Bauer cutters with various hose drum systems
• Bauer Fly Drill powered from on-board hydraulics

From practice, for practice — Bauer Dynamic Compaction (BDC) & assistance functions

• Rope tightening system — fast closure after impact keeps rope stable
• Active rope assistant — corrects rope jump and prevents mis-spooling
• Winch control — immediate lifting after impact to maintain tension and shorten cycle time
• New rope weight designs improving rope tightness
