With 18 m working height and a 10.5 m working radius, the MCM TCP16 is the reach model of the towable range: it gets over roofs, canopies and trees that stop shorter cherry pickers, and folds to just 5.7 m for towing.
Reach over, not just up
The number that sets the MCM TCP16 apart is its 10.5 m working radius, the biggest step in outreach in the towable range. With 16 m lifting height and 18 m working height, the basket can clear a carport, a loading-bay canopy or a row of trees and still reach the wall behind it. That makes it a strong choice for tree work, sloped sites and buildings you cannot park right next to.
Compact when folded
Despite the extra reach, the TCP16 folds to 5.7 × 1.7 × 2.2 m, shorter than the TCP12. Net weight is 2 800 kg, so plan for a tow vehicle rated for that load. On site the four outriggers spread to 3.9 × 4.9 m to carry the longer boom.

The ability to tow the MCM TCP16 Cherry Picker behind a standard vehicle transforms it into a highly mobile productivity asset. Instead of relying on costly transport contractors or heavy-duty trucks, operators can move efficiently from site to site using a normal bakkie, reducing downtime, logistics complexity, and overall operating costs. Its compact, trailer-mounted design enables rapid deployment, faster job turnaround, and improved responsiveness to urgent call-outs. For contractors managing multiple projects, this flexibility means better fleet utilization, increased daily billable hours, and a clear competitive advantage through agility and reduced overheads.
Easy To Operate
The MCM TCP16 Cherry Picker is designed for straightforward, intuitive operation, allowing operators to get to work quickly with minimal training. Clearly marked controls, simple toggle functions, and an integrated emergency stop enhance both efficiency and safety on site. This ease of use reduces the learning curve, minimizes operator error, and improves overall jobsite productivity. For contractors, it means faster setup, smoother operation, and less downtime—ultimately translating into higher daily output and greater confidence when working at height.
