The sheer number of cranes available can make selecting the right one for the job intimidating. Today, the crane industry - employing thousands of people - is worth billions of dollars.Ĭranes are very complex machinery that incorporate some of the latest technology, and operating a crane is no rudimentary task, as it requires a good deal of training and know-how - not to mention a steady hand.Ĭranes are used in a variety of different industries, creating a robust rental market. These features further enhance the safe operation of the machine when site conditions get tough and are available in retrofit form for all Mercedes powered Franna cranes.Cranes have been around in one form or another for thousands of years, and have been pivotal to modern construction and the structure built in our society. ► Operator settable maximum working height When operating on a side slope or undulating terrain, operators are no longer required to manually calculate a reduction of rated capacity the Instantaneous information on the percentage utilisation of the machine (0-100% of available capacity). When operated on a jobsite over undulating terrain, the rated capacity will be updated continually, providing Increased resolution of rated capacity is made possibleīy finer measurement of articulation pitch and roll angles, allowing for improved machine capability compared to previous generation LMI systems. Into account boom configuration, as well as chassis articulation, pitch and roll, enabling continual assessment of structural limitations, forward stability and side stability. The system is designed to offer ‘real-time’ calculation of rated capacity taking The operator to move swiftly and safely from job to job.Īdditional features include a full width isolated cabin, articulating counterweight and increased cabin storage.įirst released in 2013, Franna’s patented Dynamic LMI remains as a pillar of safety, underpinning the electronic control and user experience offered today. Maximum road speeds of up to 75 km/h allows The 3-axle design eliminates the need for a removable counterweight and the third axle control system raises axle 3 when operating on a work site, providing similar turning circle as the MAC 25. With a huge maximum lift capacity of 40 tonne (44 USt), this articulated crane boasts 44% more load moment The AT 40 is one of the newest additions to the Franna pick and carry portfolio, incorporating the latest technology with engineering excellence.
