The new range of knucklebooms has 9tm, 10tm, 11tm and 12tm models all with new options, features and ratings. The new line offers reduced weight, greater lift and reach capabilities.
The 9/65, 10/72, 11/78 and 12/86 cranes have ratings ranging from 65,100 ft-lbs to 86,075 ft-lbs and maximum lift capacities from 8,380lbs to 10,230lbs. The cranes’ new features include single link (SL) or dual link (DL) options and 15° overbending. The use of ultra-high tensile steel has reduced weight by 10% to 15% from previous models. Each crane can be fitted with up to five hydraulic extensions to provide application-specific reach.
The IMT Dominator propane mechanics truck body has a greater tank hauling capacity. Its aluminum side panels and tailgate have been halved, allowing the truck to fit a second 500-gallon tank or a 1,000-gallon tank. The body was previously designed to transport one 500-gallon tank or up to 13 100lbs cylinders.
The latest Dominator trucks are offered with a new crane, the IMT 6000. The new crane is built for the strength and control that propane applications require. Featuring a patent-pending Penta BoomTM design, the crane is rated at 39,000 foot-pounds with a maximum capacity of 6,000 pounds and 22 feet of reach. The crane features a single proportional radio remote control for precise maneuvering, total load visibility and operator safety.
The company has also developed enhancements to its 2003i, 3203i, 4004i, 5005i and 6006i cranes. These include a new single-sheave boom tip design with a reduced profile for added reach in tight quartersa hydraulic power unit featuring a new polyethylene reservoir that reduces weight and the potential for system contamination, an updated pin design that improves the reliability of the pin retention system and a more compact tethered remote control that provides added ergonomic comfort in a lighter package.
