7 Rated Capacity Controller
7.1 Introduction
PMERail has been designed to meet Network Rail requirements for the provision of rated
capacity indicators and ensures that the maximum lifting capacity over the range of a ma-
chine working envelope can be utilised. The system will default to Lifting Mode when
started up or when the bogies are deployed. See section 4 for operating advice when us-
ing construction plant as a crane. The blue lamp will indicate that Lifting Mode is active.
The SWL as displayed assumes that
the load is suspended directly below
the lifting point. The weight of the
tool or tools, if fitted, (e.g. Bucket ,
quick hitch etc) are included in the
SWL and LOH values if they were
taken into consideration when the
system was calibrated. The bucket
cylinder and control linkage is
assumed to be present.
Any alterations or modifications to
machine components which affect the
RCI must be reported to Prolec Ltd or
via the machine convertor/service
agreement holder.
