  The systematic design of the MT400 is continued into the (optional) transport trolley.
Every single part has its fixed position and can be used immediately in the set-up process.

 
 
The idea behind the system
The constantly increasing demands for savings in time and costs when filming created the impetus for Movie Tech to develop a crane with a modular design which would allow it to be set up or converted with only a few different components.
The crane offers extremely short set-up times thanks to only two different strut bars and parallelogram bars and corresponding crane arm segments in lengths of 1m and 1.5m. A smart connection system also means that the pushpins so easily lost on location are now a thing of the past.
 
...a lot of intelligent details

down A useful detail: the weight bucket can be split.
