Reversible Boom Crane Loses Weight



Air Technical Industries (ATI) has developed a new version of its Reversible Boom Crane (RBC) mobile counterbalanced floor crane. New features enable it to extend and retract its base to adjust the overall length of the crane. The benefit of this feature is the reduced overall weight for ease of transportation and handling, as well as reduced ground loading for use on floors with limited capacity.

Short mode allows it to operate in crowded areas, fit in freight elevators or operate on floors with light capacity. Long mode allows operation in open areas with more room and provides greater capacity with the counterweight extended for increased leverage, safety and stability.

The unit features polyurethane bearing mounted wheels for floor protection and smooth, easy travel. Steering capability is 90° to left and right, which enable it to make sharp turns in crowded areas.

The propulsion is battery powered and controls are infinitely variable speeds from 0-4 MPH. The unit has the ability to travel slowly for precision alignment of load. The hydraulically actuated telescopic boom option enables the boom to be extended and retracted under load.

These units are available in capacities from 1,000 to 20,000 lbs. The boom lengths and lifting height are dependent on the capacity and size of the unit and can range from 8' in height up to 24'. The reach beyond the wheels enables the user to reach into, over and beyond nooks and crannies and into enclosures, trucks or other areas. The RBC's slim build enables it to pass through doorways, narrow aisles, tool rooms or other locations that are not easily accessible.

Optional features include powered telescopic boom, powered telescopic base, hydraulic powered mast rotation, winch cable lift, outriggers, remote operated push button control or wireless radio control.
