ENHANCING OPERATOR
SAFETY AND EFFICIENCY
Maintainer's Advanced Crane Control enhances the
benefits of the wireless remote system giving the
operator a visual indication of the status of the crane.
(A former version was called "LMI System")
LIGHT |
STATUS |
| Green - Solid | All Systems good, no warning alarm |
| Yellow - flashing | 90% load warning |
| Red - flashing | 100% load alarm |
| Green -Yellow flashing | 4.5° truck tilt warning |
| Green-Red flashing | 6.5° truck tilt warning |
| Green flashing |
Angle sensor is unplugged or not functioning |
-
Standard on all hydraulic cranes 6500 lbs. & above -
Automatic capacity & speed limiting in low stability lifting areas by sensing truck level and boom angle
-
Automatic stability monitoring reduces operator error
-
Reduces rotation speed under heavy load for improved operational control
-
Will warn the operator and stop crane rotation if necessary
-
Potentially eliminates the need for front outriggers on certain service bodies
Dual Angle Sensor:
- Unprecedented safety by monitoring level of crane/truck. If the truck is more than 4.5° out of level, lifting capacity and speed will be reduced. If the truck is more than 6.5° out of level, the controller will no longer allow picks to be made with the crane (retract and hoist down will function at 25% speed)
- Monitors boom angle compared to level of truck to give input back to the crane controller. This allows the crane to pick more load (in certain locations) without increasing the overall foot-pound rating of the crane.
