Operators control station enclosed

Includes the standard cab shell with the addition of front, right, and rear glass. Hinged full door with sliding glass. Front windshield wiper, heater and defroster are included.

Suspension

Front: Rigid mounted to frame. Rear: Provides 1.5° oscillation for use on semi-rough terrain. Axle lock-out must be engaged (locked) whenever picking on rubber or traveling in the crab steer mode. A warning light indicates when the axle lock-outs are engaged. *Optional 4° oscillation.

Load indicator (wireless LSI)

A simple effective and easy to use load indicating system used in conjunction with the anti-two block system to assist the operator in efficient operation of the unit within the limits of the load chart. The display panel displays the hook load and warns the operator when a preset load capacity is exceeded. The warning is by a flashing light on the display panel. In conjunction with the load display panel (receiver), there is a wireless transmitter and load sensing pin attached to the boom head that transmits the hook load to the display panel.

Rated capacity limiter (wireless RCL)

Similar to the Load Indicator, but stops the telescope out and boom lift down function when a load limit is exceeded. Uses a similar display panel with the addition of displaying boom angle and boom length read outs on the panel.

Load moment indicator (hardwired LMI)

Digital display of boom angle, boom length, boom radius, capacity, and allows for operator input to set the limits based on load chart. Displays color coded light bar and audible alarm with function cutout if load exceeds entered parameters.
