90tm loader crane with SPACEevo control system expands Hiab’s Effer brand offering.

Loader crane manufacturer Hiab, part of Cargotec, has launched the Effer iQ.950 HP – a 90 tonnes metre (tm) loader crane, part of its heavy range.

The Effer iQ.950 HP has Hiab’s V12-Power boom profile and a new operating system called SPACEevo. Hiab says the iQ.950 HP is a multi-purpose crane suitable for a wide range of vertical and horizontal lifting jobs that can be performed safely and precisely, even at high speeds, thanks to its new control system.

With the SPACEevo control system the lifting capacity can be increased via the VSL+ (Variable Stability Logic-plus) function, that uses the load as an active part of the stabilisation setup, while the DLC-S (Dynamic Load Chart) is designed to reduce the time it takes to configure the stabilisation setup.

The crane comes with a new CombiDrive4 remote control, from Olsbergs, which can be customised to operators’ preferences with regards to the speed of operation. It includes a Con-firmed View safety function that detects if the operator is in a position to see the opening of the stabilisers.

The crane also has a variable displacement pump for increased flow performances and reduced fuel consumption and is coated in nDurance, which Hiab describes as a nano-based technology coating for long-lasting protection.

“The new Effer models provide our customers with efficient loader cranes that increase both payload capacity and lifting performance thanks to our engineering and technological advancements,” says Marcel Boxem, vice president, Sales & Product Management Loader Cranes Heavy & Super Heavy, Hiab. “They offer the same performance as bigger models but can be installed on smaller and more cost-conscious trucks. This is another milestone to cope with our customer demand to reduce CO2 emissions and enhance their operations in urban areas. The Effer iQ.950 HP offers the most advanced SPACEevo control system from Hiab which is customisable over time, customers can add content and features best suited for their operator needs.”

The Effer iQ.950 HP shares parts and controls with the other iQ. and iX. range cranes. This, says Hiab, makes it easier for operators to use the different models and owners of multiple units can lower their warehouse inventory by storing common spare parts that can be used across the series.

In selected markets owners can access Hiab’s ProCare service contracts and the connected service HiConnect.
