A totally new design, the MBL5000 gantry combines and extend upon product features that Enerpac introduced with the SBL series of gantry lifters. As well as the roller track propulsion system, the MBL5000 features Enerpac’s Intellilift wireless control system with automatic synchronization and overload detection. A foldable boom design facilitates transport inside a 20ft container and enables access to confined areas.

The gantry is able to absorb all side loads in the steel boom structure and not in the hydraulic cylinders. To minimize boom drift, which can prompt overturning, the MBL5000 introduces pre-tensioned sliding bearings between the boom sections.

A maximum lifting height of 12.8m can be achieved with only two full hydraulic and synchronized stages. As a result, boom drift has been decreased by more than 30 per cent.
