The pentagonal, five-component telescopic boom on the MRT3050 not only allows the various elements of the telescopic arm to be centred relative to each other, thus facilitating skid locking and improving access to chain tensioners, but also increases the rigidity of the arm assembly even when fully deployed horizontally, the company says.

The 3050 is equipped with a rated capacity indicator (RCI). An in-cab display provides the operator with information on the load on the accessories, and also gives the maximum load for the position that the machine is in. In addition, a length sensor located on each stabiliser provides precise information on their positions. A computer built into the RCI constructs the corresponding curve for each of these positions, thus optimising maximum capacity, irrespective of constraints imposed by the site.
