Demag shows more Flex
19 February 2020Demag is bringing more flexibility to its smaller all terrain range, by adopting the Flex Base stepless outrigger system, first developed for the AC 45 City, on its AC 55-3 and AC 60-3.
The company says that by using Flex Base with the company’s IC-1 Plus control system, crane owners will be able to take on jobs that would otherwise be unreachable.
In order to make this stepless variable extension system possible, Demag made modifications to the outriggers’ steel structure and the IC-1 Plus control system software. “We integrated the Flex Base function seamlessly into our IC-1 Plus crane control system,” said Michael Klein, product marketing manager at Demag. “We keep hearing from customers who are thrilled with how intuitive and easy to use the IC-1 Plus system is, so we made absolutely sure that this would continue to be the case.”
Moreover, the online “IC-1 Lift Plan” planning tool for PCs and mobile devices supports users to prepare for lifts in advance. This tool makes it possible to determine the exact position and configuration of the crane at the work site under consideration of the load being lifted so that every crane job can be as fast and cost-effective as possible.
