Comansa updates the 11LC flat top range

Spanish tower crane manufacturer Comansa has confirmed the update of its 11LC range of flat top tower cranes and will shortly incorporate the changes into its 16LC line.

The company will also add a six tonne version of its eight tonne 11LC150, taking the 11LC range to five models with capacities of five, six or eight tonnes and jib lengths up to 65 metres with tip capacities of 1,700kg - or 1,870 with PowerLift.

The improvements include changes to the cathead and jib sections, enabling easier access to the trolley, while a new single trolley that enables a manual single/double reeving change by the operator directly from the ground is available as an option. New potentiometers on the lift and trolley hoists are said to improve control smoothness and fine adjustment, making it easier to move and precisely position sensitive loads. A new 18kW hoist has been added to the six tonne models, requiring less power, while maintaining drum capacity and speeds. The Power Lift system is now standard, providing a 10 percent improvement in capacities when operating at reduced speeds.

Changes to the cathead and jib sections, allow easier access to the trolley

The 24 and 37kW hoist motor options now feature the Effi-Plus system which increases the lift and lower speeds for light loads, without increasing power consumption. The cranes are now equipped with the new ‘M’ size Cube cab, together with a resized and redesigned platform for an easier erection and maintenance. Inside the cab the seat positioning has been changed to improve operator comfort.

The Quick Set system, already fitted to the 21LC series, will now be available as an option on the 11LC family, helping simplify and speed up commissioning and calibration of a tower crane once erected.

As stated the above features are also due to be introduced on the three model 16LC models which offers capacities of eight, 10 or 12 tonnes and jib lengths up to 70 metres with jib tip capacities of 2,150kg or 2,356kg with the PowerLift boost activated.
