peer agreement (net): +1load envelope Explanation: If you stand astride a heavy weight, reach down and grab it, you might be able to lift it. However, if you stand back, seize it at arms length, you cannot. Same applies to cranes. They can (safely) lift heavier weights close to the tower or chassis than they can at the far end of the boom/jib. If they attempt to lift too heavy a weight at the wrong distance along the boom, either a safe-load system cuts in and the motors cut out, or the crane falls over. Remember that video of a car that fell off an Irish dock, and the three or so cranes that fell in after it? The 16.8-ton counterweight offers a series of configurations which are aimed at optimizing the LOAD ENVELOPE. Maximum tip height on the crane is 236.22 ft. ... findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m0FZX/is_9_70/ai_n6211806/ systems on cranes and platforms. The sensors provide vital data to ensure equipment is operating within its nominal LOAD ENVELOPE. ... www.pennyandgiles.com/New-tilt-sensor-from-Penny- -Giles-of... performance-in-compact,-robust,-low-power-package-ns-195,9,,.php |
