Loads precisely positioned
With MICROMOVE, at the push of a button on the
control lever, lowering speed is reduced to micro le-
vels. Even the heaviest loads can be precisely sus-
pended and positioned without using the hoist gear
brakes.

Accurate against the wind

Wind influences the movement of the jib! With the wind
load control, the jib position is regulated automatically.
Counter measures are not necessary. Large-scale loads
(i.e. form panels) can be moved and suspended precise-
ly even in wind.

construction crane. For the first time ever in a fast-erec-
ting crane in its class, the hoist gear can lift and lower
all loads absolutely steplessly. The wide rpm enables 2
rope operation at full speed. The intelligent ventilation
system cools the drive to optimum operation temperatu-
res – independent from hoist rpm.

Slewing just as you want

Choose between absolutely sensitive slewing with low rpm
and high torque and high handling capacity with high rpm and
low torque. The ratio is freely adjustable.

Safe Control
The modern and safety orientated PLC control includes ope-
rating-range limiting system ABB, the interface to the anti-
collision system AKS or machine data recording MDE. The
graphic display offers a simple menu guide and shows all im-
portant operational data in one view. LiDAT offers additional
possibilities for remote diagnosis and data evaluation.

Clear information
With the electronic monitoring system (EMS) the crane driver
has all the important parameters in one view. The display gi-
ves extensive information on loads, driving modes and many
other operational functions.

Safe guying
The jib is mounted with rods. Above all, increased safety and
low maintenance are aimed for in assembly.

New design for efficient operation

In addition to the technical innovations the 81K was completely
redesigned. Optimum arrangement of controls in the new cabin
enables efficient and exhaustion free work. The optimised field of
vision maximises the view of building site. Tinted glass reduces
heat and protects against glare.

Play-free tower connection

After the tower is extended, it is tensed at 3 defined points
with the automatic tower locking device. Through the clea-
rance free tower connection the whole steel structure is torsion
resistant and stable. Equipped as standard, the intermediate
hook heights can now be used quickly and easily.
