Introducing the Hummer of Cranes & Pride of MIA Crane: The All Terrain Crane Leeton
Maneuvering the ATC around a construction site is to MIA Crane Service operators what driving a luxury SUV on the pavement is to Range Rover or Hummer enthusiasts. The all terrain crane Leeton falls somewhere between a rough terrain crane and a mobile truck crane with multi-functional capability. It can drive at top speeds down public highways, and it can travel off-road as well.
Features of the All Terrain Crane Leeton
All terrain cranes feature a main lifting mechanism, which is usually a hydraulically powered telescopic boom. This steel arm is used to lift the load. Some ATCs feature a jib or lattice structure which is attached to the boom. It has reinforced steel cable lines that run from winch located behind the operator station. Each line can hold a maximum load of just over 6300 kgs.
A large metal ball is attached at the end of the jib or boom, and that bal holds a hook that secures the load. The ball is helpful in putting weight on the lines in order to hold it still when there is no load attached to the hook.
All terrain cranes usually have outriggers to provide stability and to prevent the centre of gravity from shifting. Outriggers have beams that extend from the side of the crane to a pad that lowers toward the surface, and counterweights can be placed under the operator station at the rear of the crane to prevent it from tipping.
What we love about our all terrain cranes, are the following:
