IMT launches range-topping knuckleboom
24 October 2018IMT has launched a new knuckleboom loader, the 42684. With a load moment of 305,580ft lb, the crane tops the company’s range in this line.
The 42684 is the newest addition to IMT’s portfolio of durably-designed loader cranes.
“Our newest hydraulic loader crane offers customers another option for precise handling and expert manoeuvrability of palletised materials in the building supply construction industries,” said John Field, product manager at IMT. “IMT designs our loaders to lift more, reach farther and last longer.”
The 42684 has a maximum lift capacity of 10,500lb (4,763kg), up to 84ft of horizontal reach and a maximum vertical reach of 95ft.
A hydraulic out-and-down stabiliser span aims to provide customers with excellent stability for loading and unloading palletised goods, while a high lift-to-weight ratio allows for maximum payload on the truck.
“At IMT, we’re committed to helping our customers achieve improved productivity, profitability and efficiency with our products. The new 42684 provides the strength, reach and precision to quickly and easily load and unload materials,” said Field. “The 42684 offers the longest and highest lift capacity of any IMT loader crane currently in the market.”
IMT hydraulic loaders are manufactured with an Environmentally-Friendly Quality Coating (EQC) Surface Treatment that provides maximum resistance to impact and corrosion for improved lifetime productivity. The 42684 comes optional with an Electronic Vehicle Stability (EVS) system to increase the working area of the crane by calculating improved stability conditions and is backed by a three-year warranty on all IMT crane structural parts.
