New PowerLift System from Linden Comansa

This system, which allows to displace a maximum load to a major reach, is included as a standard in all tower cranes and will have no additional cost

Since this month January 2012, all the cranes from series LC500, LC1100, LC1600, LC2100 and LC3000 from Linden Comansa will incorporate the new PowerLift system, which allows to improve 10% the load chart with reduced speeds. With the incorporation of this system, the cranes will be able to move the rated load that is indicated in the chart to a major distance (reach).

Linden Comansa’s R&D team has developed a system of control and limitation at the moment, named PowerLift that, by means of the automatic reduction of the speed of trolley and hoist allows that occasionally the crane is capable of achieving an extra load up to 10% more to do certain works.

This system does not allow the crane to have bigger maximum load capacity, but allows to increase 10% the rated load that appears in the load charts up to the maximum load according to the data sheet, in the same way as it allows to displace the same maximum load to major reach.

For example: the 21 LC 400 / 18 t tower crane, with 80 meters of jib length, can load 18,000 kilos up to a reach of 16.6 meters. With the PowerLift system, the crane will be able to load the same 18,000 kilos to a reach of 18 meters. And if this crane can load up to 3,000 kilos at the jib end, with the PowerLift system will be able to load 3,300 kilos.

PowerLift System is automatic, and it is not difficult to use.
