Comansa new model can take the load

01 October 2019

Comansa has launched a new addition to its wide range of large flat-top tower cranes – the 21LC1400.

Finding applications mainly in prefabricated prefinished volumetric construction (PPVC) and infrastructure projects, the new model will also prove useful on any site where lifting very heavy loads is necessary, says the Spanish cranes manufacturer.

The 21LC1400 comes in two versions, with maximum load capacity of 50 or 66 tonnes.

Like Comansa’s most recent large models, the crane will feature a modular design of the counterjib to highly reduce the counter-radius in constrained jobsites.

A new single and compact trolley has also been designed for the 21LC1400, instead of Comansa’s double trolley system, standard in other models, as this new crane will work mainly in projects in which the maximum load capacity is needed in almost every lift, like in PPVC.

Comansa has also announced the launch of Quick Set, an electronic limitation system that will reduce the set-up time of the cranes from three hours to 45 minutes, and will also reduce the number of staff during such operation.

The new Quick Set will be available as an option in all flat-top models of the LC range and will be an important benefit for rental companies who have to dismantle their cranes and move them to another jobsite very often, says the spokesman for the company.

The launch of the 21LC1400, which is now available worldwide, and the Quick Set was announced at bauma, the world’s largest construction equipment fair, held in Munich, Germany, in April.

Also at bauma, Comansa displayed the 50-tonne flat-top model 21LC1050, which was the largest hammerhead crane at the show.

This crane has a maximum radius of 80 m with optional radii of 85 and 90 m, and was designed mainly for large industrial, infrastructure and PPVC projects, among others.

Also displayed for the first time at bauma was Comansa’s Cube cab, which was at ground level for all visitors to see its fully glazed front, spacious design and all comfort features for the crane operator.
