New heavy loader cranes
Hiab, part of Cargotec, has unveiled three new heavy loader cranes with reported lower fuel consumption and a new operating system to improve productivity and safer operation.
The three new models, EFFER iQ.1200 HP, 110 tonne metre ™, EFFER iX.550 HP, 51 tm, and EFFER iX.355 HP, 32.1 tm, all feature the SPACEevo operating system which allows customers to add additional functions over time.
“We are proud to introduce three new EFFER loader cranes that widen the choice of lifting capacities available to our customers,” said Marcel Boxem, director, global product management, loader cranes heavy & super heavy, Hiab.
“The new operating system SPACEevo ensures that the cranes have ‘best in class’ performance and safety features,” he said, adding that the new cranes help customers to lower emissions, reduce energy consumption and increase payload.
The new control system, SPACEevo, has safety and productivity features such as VSL+ that can maximise the lifting capacity by calculating the stability according to the position of the stabiliser legs and the total weight of the truck.
It is a modular platform that allows customers to add or enhance their cranes with more functions as they become available.
The standard XS Drive remote control can be substituted with the new optional CombiDrive 4 remote control, which has new safety features such as Confirm View to find the best field of view, three high definition colour displays and a long-lasting battery with single-user operator personalisation settings.
The new models will also be offered in non-CE versions, equipped with the control system Space X4 and the optional CombiDrive 3 remote control.
