As we began developing the XS crane system, it was with a single purpose: to provide you with a crane that precisely meets your requirements. The solution we came up with was a highly modular system. This allows us to deliver practically every XS crane according to detailed customer specifications. This brochure helps you to find the right XS crane for your needs. The full name of each XS crane is derived from its particular model number/capacity, link system, boom system and control system. The main features of each of these key crane components are detailed over the following pages. Every choice you make effects the performance and characteristics of the crane, including its lifting capacity, speed and precision. To simplify your selection, we are introducing a rating system which compares the qualities of each control system – the centre of the XS crane. 5 PF-XSC-EN-OS_NY.indd 5 2011-12-08 10.46 Tailor-made cranes What is XS? Crane size vs. Capacity A HIAB XS loader crane stands out from all other cranes on the market. Inspired by the needs of crane operators and driven by our passion for excellence and innovation, the XS is a crane that delivers unsurpassed performance and flexibility. The XS range breaks free from conventional thinking in crane architecture to give you more freedom to specify requirements than ever before. This results in a crane with capacity, features and functions that are perfectly matched to the jobs you want it to do – a purpose-designed crane, setting new standards in productivity. The three-digit crane model number, divided by ten, gives you an idea of the capacity in tonne metres. But each crane model has its own capacity range – the exact capacity depends on the control system. Control units (p. 32) Your crane can be controlled in basically two different ways, directly via levers or by remote control. Levers can be positioned either at the base of the crane or on a platform or at a high seat. The remote control unit is always where you are, comfortably attached to a belt around your waist, or placed in a bracket at the control platform or high seat. Intelligence systems (p. 28) A large number of electronic functions, for safety as well as for productivity are available for your Hiab crane. These are all managed by a system called SPACE which is a computer, devised to discretely assist you in operating the crane. The SPACE electronics are housed in a 100% weather-proof casing and are extremely reliable and easy to use. VSL Thanks to the VSL function drivers can give their full attention to driving the crane. The crane’s intelligent system (SPACE) automatically takes care of the stability – something that improves safety for you and those around you. 6 PF-XSC-EN-OS_NY.indd 6 2011-12-08 10.46 Link systems (p. 16) Boom systems (p. 14) Innovative mechanical links developed with the aid of advanced computer design help to optimise the crane’s performance. The outer boom link improves the crane’s manoeuvrability, while the inner boom link increases its lifting capacity. Your crane is available with a choice of different boom systems. Each boom type is a highly efficient all-rounder, capable of handling all kinds of jobs. Some boom systems however, are optimised to provide enhanced performance for specific tasks. Depending on crane model, you can choose up to nine extensions. An optional jib gives improved flexibility to reach in to confined spaces, it also extends the maximum lifting height of the crane. Hydraulics (p. 20) The main valve is the hydraulic heart of the crane. All Hiab valves can handle very large amounts of oil per minute and still give you superb fingertip feel and precision while operating the crane. Control systems (p. 36) The control system has a major impact on your crane’s performance in terms of lifting capacity, precision, speed, safety and comfort. Depending on crane model, you have a choice of five control systems: Classic, Duo, HiDuo, Pro and HiPro. 7 PF-XSC-EN-OS_NY.indd 7 2011-12-08 10.46 The name tells a story PF-XSC-EN-OS_NY.indd 8 2011-12-08 10.46 PF-XSC-EN-OS_NY.indd 9 2011-12-08 10.46 10 PF-XSC-EN-OS_NY.indd 10 2011-12-08 10.47 Crane size vs. Capacity The crane name only tells part of the story The three-digit number in the crane name gives you a pretty good idea of a crane’s capacity – but not the entire picture. Most crane models cover a capacity range. But the exact lifting capacity depends on which control system you specify. In fact, a smaller crane model can have a higher capacity than a larger one. In the 13-tonne metre range, for example, a more advanced version of the HIAB XS 122 lifts more than the lead-in model in the HIAB XS 144 range. Generally, when faced with this option, there is a lot to be gained by selecting the lighter, more advanced crane. Hiab provides a total of five different control systems, which one you can choose for your crane depends on the crane model. Whilst each system ensures outstanding cargo handling performance across the full range of applications, each step up the range provides increasingly advanced features. 11 PF-XSC-EN-OS_NY.indd 11 2011-12-08 10.47 The mechanics makes a difference PF-XSC-EN-OS_NY.indd 12 2011-12-08 10.47 PF-XSC-EN-OS_NY.indd 13 2011-12-08 10.47 Mechanics – Boom systems Choosing the right crane geometry for your application Hiab offers a range of boom systems featuring different inner and outer boom lengths‚ different numbers of extensions‚ and different geometries. Each system endows the crane with its own special characteristics. The one that you choose will largely be dictated by the main applications for your crane. So‚ whether you mostly do high or low lifts‚ work close to the vehicle or at a distance‚ or do a bit of everything‚ there’s a Hiab boom system that is ideally suited to your needs. Unless otherwise specified‚ your XS crane will be equipped with our A-boom system. With its regular boom lengths and normal characteristics‚ it delivers solid allround performance. Built to incorporate as many as nine extensions for maximum outreach‚ the A-boom system is suitable for a wide range of applications. It’s the perfect choice if you do different types of jobs from day to day. But if you want your crane to perform more specific‚ more demanding tasks‚ more often‚ you’ll need a boom system that is optimised for the challenge. On these pages we describe some of our most popular solutions. 14 PF-XSC-EN-OS_NY.indd 14 2011-12-08 10.47 Foldable boom systems A-boom A-boom The A-boom is an all-round boom, well suited for doing all kinds of jobs. It can be delivered with up to nine hydraulic extensions on selected models. The boom is designed to be very stable and rigid, making it suitable for even the toughest of jobs. Also, it can be equipped with a jib providing yet another load-handling degree of freedom. P-boom P-boom The P-boom has up to five extensions. Each extension is slightly longer, giving you a greater outreach than a conventional A-boom. This also gives you the benefit of lower weight, thereby increasing the maximum lifting capacity. The P-boom system is ideal for handling heavy bulky loads, such as precast concrete and containers. S-boom S-boom The S-boom system features a short outer boom. This facilitates higher lifts close to the crane base, allowing you to load a second-layer pallet close to the crane base without removing the adjacent pallet. You can also park the crane, even on a short tipper, without detaching the bucket. The short outer boom increases lifting capacity – especially at close range, and saves weight. Non-foldable boom systems K-boom K-boom L-boom The non-foldable K-boom system has geometries that are ideally suited for meeting the demands of the buildingmaterials industries. It has an extra-long inner boom and a shorter outer boom. The long inner boom provides faster moves from close in to far out. On the K-boom system, the two outer boom extensions come out at the same time, driven by only one cylinder and a chain connection. This doubles extension speed, thus giving a very fast overall load cycle speed. L-boom This non-foldable boom system has geometries that are ideally suited for meeting the demands of the buildingmaterials industries. It has an extra-long inner boom and a short outer boom and extensions. The long inner boom provides faster moves from far out to close in, giving greatly improved load-cycle speed. 15 PF-XSC-EN-OS_NY.indd 15 2011-12-08 10.47 Mechanics – Link systems How a small piece of steel can make a big difference A mechanical link is quite simply a piece of steel. But it does remarkable things to your crane. Hiab’s optional link systems consist of two different combinations of links mounted on the crane boom. These are the D-link and the E-link systems, each of which offers a number of significant performance advantages. For those who simply want a solid, all-round crane with an outstanding reach and without compromising an inch on quality, cranes without links, the B-link system, remain an excellent investment. No link (B-link). Double link (E-link). The difference in capacity range between a crane with a B-link and one with an E-link. 16 PF-XSC-EN-OS_NY.indd 16 2011-12-08 10.47 B-link B-link The B-link system is actually a boom without links. This configuration is used on the most basic cranes. In practice the term B-link is only useful when comparing cranes with and without links. The primary benefit of the B-link solution (no links) is keeping down weight. D-link D-link The D-link system is an outer boom link, which provides a lever connection between the inner and outer boom. The main function of the D-link is to enable the outer boom to move at a constant speed, resulting in smooth and precise performance. The system absorbs peaks and shocks during excavation work, making the crane easy to work with. In addition the D-link does not protrude below the boom, ensuring it does not interfere with load positioned under the boom. E-link E-link The E-link system comprises both an inner boom link and an outer boom link. The E-link system significantly increases the crane’s lifting capacity in high boom positions, especially when working close to the column. It is ideally suited on scaffolding by delivering heavy loads with a straight boom system, all the way up to the crane’s maximum reach. The outer boom link does not protrude below the boom and thereby does not interfere with load placed under the boom. 17 PF-XSC-EN-OS_NY.indd 17 2011-12-08 10.47 The heart of the crane PF-XSC-EN-OS_NY.indd 18 2011-12-08 10.47 PF-XSC-EN-OS_NY.indd 19 2011-12-08 10.47 Valve 80 Valve 91 PF-XSC-EN-OS_NY.indd 20 2011-12-08 10.47 Hydraulics The heart of the crane Valve 91 The main valve is the hydraulic heart of the crane. The valve is always adapted to the specific capacity and functions that the crane should be able to perform. To put things simply, the higher performance the larger oil flow required. All Hiab valves can handle very large amounts of oil per minute and still give you a direct and precise control of the crane. The Hiab Valve 91 represents the pinnacle of hydraulic valve technology. It is load-sensing and pressure-compensated which improves both speed and precision. It features a wide range of top class features, one being that the same control lever movement always produces the same crane response, irrespective of whether you are using one function or more, with a light or heavy load. Valve 91 also ensures Pump Flow Distribution (PFD) which keeps the crane operating independently of the oil flow available. This keeps lifting, hoisting and other crane functions running simultaneously at the same relative speed. Valve 91 enables your crane to be controlled with finger-tip precision regardless of how far out the crane boom tip is. This, of course is invaluable in confined spaces. Valve 80 The Hiab Valve 80 is a top-of-the-line open-centre valve based on well-proven technique which gives superb reliability. It features very good dynamic characteristics and performs with ease while slewing and handling numerous operations at the same time. When stressed to the max, other valves on the market produce vibration in the hydraulic system. This is all a thing of the past for the Hiab Valve 80. It can handle large oil flows, distributing great power to the cylinders and all other hydraulic functions, and yet it can be controlled with high precision. 21 PF-XSC-EN-OS_NY.indd 21 2011-12-08 10.47 Innovative electronics PF-XSC-EN-OS_NY.indd 22 2011-12-08 10.47 PF-XSC-EN-OS_NY.indd 23 2011-12-08 10.47 Electronics – Safety features Electronic safety functions Hiab has developed a number of safety features designed to monitor all crane movements. These are designed to act with as little interference as possible with the operator’s way of handling the crane. If the operator starts moving into a sector that is unstable, or risk overloading, the system will alert the driver discretely. If needed, the system will take the particular movement to a nice and gentle stop. The safety systems are active at all time in the background, and when using the crane normally the systems are not to be noticed by the operator. Operator Protection System (OPS) 24 PF-XSC-EN-OS_NY.indd 24 2011-12-08 10.47 Stability in slewing sector Over Load Protection (OLP) High boom warning Pioneering standards of safety are built into every single crane that bears the Hiab name. Our electronic Over Load Protection (OLP) system is at the leading edge of crane safety technology. It is designed on the principle that no crane should be brought to a halt without good cause, but equally there should be no compromise in operator safety. Each and every movement is monitored by the OLP system. A movement is only stopped when there is a real risk of exceeding the crane’s limits by continuing with that movement. Other movements however, are allowed to continue as normal. The presence of OLP is extremely reassuring for you as an operator. It protects from dangerous overload situations and the real danger of the truck tipping over. OLP is also very discrete, remaining invisible to the operator unless and until the system senses a potential problem. The system allows work to proceed even as the operator is approaching an overload situation. But when the crane reaches 90% of its maximum capacity, the operator is alerted, enabling him to take corrective action and carry on working. In the rare situation where OLP does not allow any movement at all, it can be temporarily disconnected for five seconds. The operator can then move out of the overload situation, without restarting the crane. If a jib or hoist is being used, OLP controls their position and movement as well. Only a Hiab crane, equipped with OLP, allows you full freedom in all situations. When the pressure is on and you need to get to the next job fast, mistakes can happen. For example, if a driver forgets to park the crane, the consequences could be serious. In these situations, you’ll appreciate a safety function like high boom warning. The SPACE system continuously monitors the boom position. If the crane is left in its upright position, an indicator lamp in the cabin will alert the driver before driving away. Stability in slewing sector Whatever truck/crane combination you have, Hiab will calculate the working area available to the front of the truck cabin as well as the slewing angle and capacity that can be used in this traditionally unstable sector. The crane can then be adjusted accordingly after installation on the vehicle. This means that the crane operator can now slew 360° around the crane base, with only slightly reduced lifting capacity when working in front of the vehicle cabin. Operator Protection System (OPS) The Operator Protection System (OPS) is designed to protect the operator when controlling the crane. This is achieved by defining a “virtual safety cage” that the crane is restricted from moving into. The size and position of the virtual safety cage can be easily adjusted to fit the vehicle-crane combination of your choice. The system is activated as soon as the operator steps onto the platform and deactivates as soon as the operator steps down from it. (OPS) 25 PF-XSC-EN-OS_NY.indd 25 2011-12-08 10.48 Electronics – Productivity features Increasing your productivity in unique and innovative ways The Hiab name has always been synonymous with innovation. No other crane manufacturer invests more time, money and effort in research, development and continuous improvement. And no other manufacturer does more to add value to your crane. We have developed four systems, each unique to Hiab, that provide extra capacity, improve operating efficiency and ultimately increase your productivity. They are Automatic Duty Control (ADC), Manual Speed Control (MSC), Automatic Speed Control (ASC) and Pump Flow Distribution (PFD). Other productivity increasing functions are Automatic Dumping of Oil (ADO) and Automatic Damping System (ADS), adding even more value to your crane. Each system is designed to self-activate smoothly and automatically, without operator intervention, ensuring that the task is completed efficiently. Which of these advanced functions are available to you depends on your choice of control system.. 26 PF-XSC-EN-OS_NY.indd 26 2011-12-08 10.48 Automatic Duty Control (ADC)) Manual Speed Control (MSC) Automatic Duty Control (ADC), patented by Hiab, is the only fully automatic duty control function on the market. ADC will automatically boost the maximum capacity of the crane with around 10% during regular operation. If the crane registers upward pressure on the boom tip – as is the case when digging or auguring – the capacity will return to normal level. The ADC-function is active in the background at all times – leaving the operator free to fully concentrate on the job at hand, thereby increasing productivity. MSC increases the capacity of the crane up to 10% in one step. When the crane reaches its regular maximum loading limit, the MSC function will really make a difference. MSC automatically boosts the capacity by slightly reducing the speed of the inner and outer boom. This means the operator can focus totally on the job at hand. MSC delivers greater capacity when you need it most. Automatic Dumping of Oil (ADO) Automatic Dumping of Oil (ADO) serves to bring the oil straight back from the pump into the tank when the crane is running idle. By doing this the oil keeps its cooling and lubricating properties for a longer time. This will significantly decrease wear on the hydraulic system, lower maintenance costs and fuel consumption. Automatic Damping System (ADS) The ADS consists of a damping and load-holding valve mounted on the slewing mechanism. It proves mostly valuable on cranes with more than three extensions as it gives gentle damping even if a control lever is released hastily. In applications where slewing is frequently used, e.g. bucket operation, loading and unloading at long outreaches etc., ADS gives increased precision and higher productivity. Pump Flow Distribution (PFD) Hiab cranes can handle the highest oil throughput in the market. But skilled crane drivers, able to operate several functions at the same time, want even more from their crane. And Hiab delivers, with PFD. In situations where the operator is working at the limits and using multiple functions simultaneously, even the largest pump may not be able to supply enough oil. This can result in the crane acting unpredictably, but not if your crane is equipped with PFD. This innovative system distributes the available oil in proportion to the operator’s lever movements. All functions will continue to work just as expected with no disturbances or surprises, although you require more oil flow than available. Once full oil flow is restored, it is full speed ahead once again. PFD has proven extremely useful in practice. Even at an oil flow of 100 l/min, the system activates three times per load cycle during normal use. If you demand maximum convenience and productivity from your crane, you should not settle for less than a crane equipped with PFD. Automatic Speed Control (ASC) ASC gives a stepless increase in lifting capacity of up to 10%, all in one smooth, continuous motion. This feature, unique to Hiab, engages automatically, which means that the operator does not feel or notice a thing. The function activates as you reach the regular capacity limit, meaning that you can still lift the load where other cranes would have come to a complete stop. To compensate for the capacity boost, the speed of the inner and outer boom is slightly reduced. Capacity ceiling, safety and efficiency are significantly increased by this feature. 27 PF-XSC-EN-OS_NY.indd 27 2011-12-08 10.48 Electronics – Intelligence systems Intelligence systems SPACE 3000 All electronic functions are managed by the SPACE system, which is a computer devised to intelligently assist you in operating your crane. The SPACE electronics are housed in a 100% weather-proof casing and is extremely reliable and easy to use. On the front of the casing a number of indicators clearly show vital information to the operator. As an example, the pressure in the two cylinders is displayed continuously. Observing these indicators proves very useful when positioning the booms for lifting loads at maximum capacity. The SPACE intelligence system is available in three different configurations, each one with an increasing number of advanced and productive functions. All configurations benefit from the highly advanced Over Load Protection (OLP) system. Productivity functions in the system are Automatic Duty Control (ADC), Manual Speed Control (MSC), Automatic Speed Control (ASC) and Pump Flow Distribution (PFD). These functions can be used separately or in combination. A valuable feature for service personnel is that fault code indication and load cycle data is also stored in the system. This can be used for analysis and feedback to the customer as to how he or she uses the crane. SPACE 3000 is the basic intelligence system and then follows the SPACE 4000. Finally the SPACE 5000 system provides you with a productivity and safety solution that is second to none, and of course, all four configurations include OLP. The SPACE 3000 can be delivered with Automatic Duty Control (ADC) and Manual Speed Control (MSC) for increased productivity. This system is a part of the CL, Duo and Pro control systems. PF-XSC-EN-OS_NY.indd 28 SPACE 4000 The SPACE 4000 system features Automatic Duty Control (ADC) and the Automatic Speed Control (ASC) function. The ASC function boosts capacity in a smooth, stepless motion and thus gives an edge in load handling and capacity that proves very valuable. The SPACE 4000 is a part of the HiDuo control system. SPACE 5000 The SPACE 5000 system features Automatic Duty Control (ADC) and the Automatic Speed Control (ASC) function. The later function boosts capacity in a smooth, stepless motion and in addition to this Pump Flow Distribution (PFD) ensures super-smooth operation at all times. The SPACE 5000 is a part of the HiPro control system. 2011-12-08 10.48 PF-XSC-EN-OS_NY.indd 29 2011-12-08 10.48 First class interaction PF-XSC-EN-OS_NY.indd 30 2011-12-08 10.48 PF-XSC-EN-OS_NY.indd 31 2011-12-08 10.48 Control units Side controls The manual way of operating your crane is through levers placed at the crane base. The control levers can as an option be positioned at other positions on the crane, see further information in the optional control solutions section. Operating your crane by remote control One of the benefits of Hiab’s remote control units is that the crane operator can be positioned at the best possible location when operating the crane. This leads to more efficient, comfortable work and also increases safety. A further spin-off effect is that you can be your own loading assistant positioning yourself next to the load, or wherever the loading assistant should be standing. Tasks will be completed faster and at lower cost. XSDrive The Hiab XSDrive remote control unit is focused on giving maximum ergonomic advantages as well as function. It features two-way communication with the crane using radio or cable. The XSDrive controls up to 24 proportional functions, and in addition to that it also incorporates up to seven easy to reach on/off functions. The robust design makes the XSDrive very durable and also easy to operate wearing working gloves. The weight of the XSDrive is approximately 1.8 kg. CombiDrive2 Operating your crane by remote control With the Hiab CombiDrive2 you can benefit from information, precision, feel and function – to a higher degree than with anything else on the market. Three active displays give access to vital information from your crane. A live symbol indication function ensures that the correct lever symbol is shown at all times – no matter what function is currently running on each lever. The lever response is outstanding, enabling load handling with finger-tip feel and precision. The weight of the CombiDrive2 is approximately 2.3 kg.. CombiDrive2 32 PF-XSC-EN-OS_NY.indd 32 2011-12-08 10.48 Optional control solutions Depending on the control system and crane model‚ you can choose between the following options for controlling your crane: • Cross-controls Cross-controls incorporate the same control lever sequence on either side of the truck, minimizing the risk of human error. • High seat A high seat provides an excellent view allowing the operator to track the boom-tip through the entire slewing sector, minimizing the danger resulting from blind angles. Once in the high seat the operator is also at a very safe position. The levers are mounted directly onto the control valve which gives a superb feel for the load. If your crane is remotely controlled there is a bracket at the high seat to place your control unit in. • Control platform A control platform, including a range of safety options, offers extra convenience and enhanced visibility of the operating area. The control platform is very easy to get on to, ensuring fast loading and unloading when needed. If your crane is remotely controlled there is a bracket at the platform to place your control unit in. XSDrive Control platform Manual control levers are situated at the control platform on a crane with the CL, Duo or Pro control system. For cranes with the the HiDuo or HiPro control system there is a bracket to place the remote control unit in. 33 PF-XSC-EN-OS_NY.indd 33 2011-12-08 10.49 The systems all wrapped up PF-XSC-EN-OS_NY.indd 34 2011-12-08 10.49 PF-XSC-EN-OS_NY.indd 35 2011-12-08 10.49 Control systems Control systems By combining choices of electronic, hydraulic and control unit components, a control system package is brought to life. The control system determines the crane’s performance in terms of its lifting capacity, precision, speed, safety and comfort. Hiab offers five different control systems: CL, Duo, HiDuo, Pro and HiPro. Each of these systems embodies the advanced technology, superb quality and unrivalled reliability for which Hiab is renowned. However, with each step up the range, you benefit from additional or enhanced features that provide incremental improvements in key aspects of the crane’s performance. The more advanced the control system, the greater the productivity of the crane. 36 PF-XSC-EN-OS_NY.indd 36 2011-12-08 10.49 37 PF-XSC-EN-OS_NY.indd 37 2011-12-08 10.49 CLX The CLX control system gives you an excellent and versatile crane, providing all the functionality you need to perform a wide range of general cargo handling tasks. CLX cranes are controlled manually via side controls or from an optional control platform. The hydraulic system of a CLX crane features the Hiab Valve 80, load holding valves with an integrated hose failure function, as well as port relief valves to prevent overloading. Control unit: Manual Intelligence: Control valve: V80 Features: - Duo The Duo crane gives you all the benefits of the CL model, plus an extra boost of capacity. This is because the control system features a function called Automatic Duty Control (ADC), which senses the job being done. A Duo crane is equal in weight to the corresponding CL model, offering you an improved weight-capacity ratio. Control unit: Manual Intelligence: SPACE 3000 Control valve: V80 Features: OLP, ADO, ADC HiDuo The HiDuo control system is based upon the renowned Hiab Valve 80. HiDuo comes with the SPACE 4000 intelligence system which intelligently monitors and controls the electronic functions of your crane. These functions are focused on assisting the operator in two aspects, safety and productivity. The HiDuo control system support remote controlling with the XSDrive remote control. Control unit: XSDrive Intelligence: SPACE 4000 Control valve: V80 Features: OLP, ADO, ADC, ASC Pro Pro is the most advanced manually operated control system in the XS family. Equipped with the highly responsive, fully proportional Valve 91, the Pro offers high load-cycling speed with maximum precision. Automatic Duty Control (ADC) increases crane capacity. In the Pro version of Hiab XS 122–166, a Manual Speed Control (MSC) function is also included. Control unit: Manual Intelligence: SPACE 3000 Control valve: V91 Features: OLP, ADO, ADC, (MSC) HiPro HiPro is simply the most advanced control system on the truck-crane market today, delivering unrivalled speed, precision and safety. This is achieved by combining the CombiDrive2 remote control, SPACE 5000 intelligence and Valve 91. Capacity is increased significantly by Automatic Speed Control (ASC). Pump Flow Distribution (PFD) maximizes productivity by ensuring super-smooth operation at all times.

Our rating system offers a quick guide in order to make the right decisions even more comfortably. It gives you a comparative overview of Hiab’s control systems, based on their impact on lifting capacity, precision, speed, safety and comfort. The rating system provides a unique set of comparative data, along with definitions of each quality. It is subject to change as new technology is introduced; a ‘5’ today may well rate as a ‘3’ tomorrow. On our web site, www.hiab.com, you will always find a complete and up-to-date list of control systems and rating data and the latest ratings. Rating CLX Duo HiDuo Pro HiPro Capacity 2 2 4 4 5 Precision 3 3 4 4 5 Speed 2 2 3 4 5 Basicsafety 3 5 5 5 5 Optionalsafety - 3 4 3 5 Comfort 3 3 4 3 5 • Capacity The capacity rating indicates how much the control system increases the crane’s actual lifting capacity (in tonne metre). In general, of course, a larger crane has a higher capacity than a smaller one. • Precision The precision rating is a measurement of the control system’s contribution to the crane’s precision; more specifically the correlation between lever and crane movements. High precision means that the control system allows the crane to be operated smoothly even at high speed and heavy load, and that the operator can set down the load gently even at long range from the truck. • Speed The speed rating refers to the crane’s load cycle speed, which in turn depends on the available oil flow and its distribution to the different functions that are being used. There is also a link between precision and load cycle speed: The more precise the crane movements, the easier it is to place the goods, and the shorter the load cycles. • Basic/optional safety The safety rating describes the crane’s overall protection against personal injury and damaged goods. It includes functions ensuring stability and safe crane motion, as well as alerts preventing crane-related driving accidents. Basic safety refers to functions included in the control system, whereas Optional safety refers to extra functions.
