include the 27M FB Gru( FB1589) with a 5,513- pound maximum capacity, a 67-foot horizontal hook height and maximum jib length radius of 89 feet. In addition, there’ s the 24M FB Gru, which features a 3,969- pound maximum capacity, a 59-foot horizontal hook height and a maximum jib length radius of 79 feet.
The Saez HT47 self-erecting crane, a 6.6-ton model, is designed to allow for maximum height under the hook without needing to reduce the load curve. Versatility in the model comes from four jib lengths with the jib horizontal at 2 degrees or angled up at 30 degrees.
Standard on the HT47 is a restricted area system, a zoning system, a Super-Lift mode and a remote-control unit with a digital display. The HT47 can provide operating information to customers through the manufacturer’ s Saez Direct Service( SDS) system. The connection also sends data on operating times, motor start-ups, use of brakes and work cycles, wind speed and other parameters.
With crane users and contractors increasingly seeking solutions that help address labor shortages, improve productivity and keep projects on schedule, and deliver high performance and efficiency in spaceconstrained applications, self-erecting cranes are well positioned to meet those needs.
The largest Igo T self-erecting crane, the Potain Igo T 139, delivers a 180.4- foot radius and a maximum hook height of 133.5 feet while lifting 1.3 tons at full radius.
