ADAPTIVE SPEED RANGE (ASR) and EXTENDED SPEED RANGE (ESR) give you the opportunity to optimize speed of your crane. An empty hook can be moved at over double the speed of a loaded hook, allowing the operator to choose the most efficient way to control the hoist. Variable hoisting speeds provide accuracy during slow speed operation and shorter load cycle times during the faster operation. ASSISTED LOAD TURNING helps turn the load by keeping the ropes straight and eliminating side pull. This function makes one of the most challenging crane operation more simple and less risky. The benefits of...

Smart Features Developed to make crane operator’s daily work easier and efficient. HOOK CENTERING is designed to eliminate side pull during lifting by positioning the bridge and trolley automatically directly over the load. This feature means less wear and tear on your crane's components, faster load cycle times and ease of operation. LOAD FLOATING keeps the load in position after the hoisting movement stops, so the brake is applied less frequently and it wears less than normally. Load Floating allows a faster and smoother restart of the hoisting movement and better control of the load....

Smart Features SHOCK LOAD PREVENTION allows smooth load pick-up. The hoist drive monitors the load. If the load is picked up abruptly, the hoisting speed is automatically reduced until the load is lifted. This feature is designed to prevent shocks to the load and to the crane, extending the lifetime of the crane's steel structure and mechanical parts. TARGET POSITIONING and END POSITIONING reduce the need for operator's manual crane operation. With only a single button, target positioning brings the load to a predefined target position. End positioning brings the load to the center of a...
