15 MANOEUVRES OF THE CRANE LOADS
(version with load limiting device)
15.1 Generality
(!) Before manoeuvering the load, verify that the working area is suitable
for your crane.
The lifting curves of the capacity plate indicate the maximum load that the
crane can lift at a certain radius and at a certain height. To utilize the maximum
capacity of the crane, it is necessary to position the inner boom as indicated
on the capacity plate. A characteristic which permits the classification of cra-
nes is their lifting capacity or maximum lifting moment. The moment is defined
by the value obtained from the weight of the load to be lifted (kg) by its distan-
ce (meters) from the centerline of the crane rotation.
Crane with load limiting device
During load handling, do not exceed the reach limits given, or the load indica-
ted on the above mentioned charts. If the limits are exceeded, the load limiting
device, permitting the slow descent of one of the two, or both, lifting rams (or if
the jib is fitted: the jib outer ram) will be immediately activated
