Manitowoc’s new Mobile Training & Technology Center brings crane training directly to students

• The new modular, hi-tech classroom can be transported to dealer sites across North America.
• The Mobile Training & Technology Center is another advancement in Manitowoc's expanding aftermarket operations.

A strong commitment to training is the cornerstone of any successful crane operation, and Manitowoc is empowering dealers to strengthen their programs with its new Mobile Training & Technology Center. This industry-first mobile classroom was unveiled at CONEXPO CON/AGG in Las Vegas, U.S. It offers a fully equipped on-site training classroom, packaged in a transportable module, enabling North American dealers to advance workforce development by streamlining technician upskilling.

"Well-run training programs help companies maximize their return on invested capital, ensuring cranes run at their optimum level and handle more work. With the Mobile Training & Technology Center, we can go to the student, rather than the student coming to us. Manitowoc is the only manufacturer offering this service in North America, and it's a reflection of our commitment to aftermarket support," said Andy Coy, global training manager for Manitowoc.

The Mobile Training & Technology Center travels on a 53 ft step-deck trailer and is deployed on-site via hydraulic jacks. It's a spacious facility, measuring 43 ft by 25 ft, and can be set up in just four hours. The Wi-Fi-enabled Training Center is packed with multimedia, including two TVs and a SMART Interactive Board. Manitowoc provides the instructors to host training sessions in the center, with each event tailored to specific needs.
