LINKAGE SYSTEM FOR OPTIMUM LIFTING CAPACITY IN ALL BOOM POSITIONS

Open the catalog to page 10

COUNTERWEIGHT A counterweight can significantly increase the vehicle's stability, thereby improving performance – especially when work is carried out without stabilisers, whether at a standstill or in creep speed mode. The counterweight always acts at the optimum place with a large effective distance and is therefore more effective than a ballast weight on the vehicle. LINKAGE SYSTEM FOR NEAR CONSTANT LIFTING CAPACITY The linkage system offers almost constant lifting capacity whatever the boom position. This means that operators will not experience any significant compromises in lifting...

OPTIMAL REACH OVER THE LOADING DECK Because cargo can be brought up very close to the crane pivot, the loading deck can be covered much more easily than with any other model. TILTING CRANE COLUMN This special feature offers a number of advantages. Firstly, it reduces the height in the transport position; and secondly, it allows for a smaller turning radius, meaning that the crane rotates within the car gauge profile. Another benefit is the optimum weight distribution of the crane components. This allows for a greater loading capacity in comparison with conventional crane models but with no...
