Hiab, part of Cargotec, unveiled its latest innovation in recycling cranes, the new JONSERED 1500RZ and its HiVisionTM "load from the truck cabin" VR concept in conjunction with the Pollutec trade show in France.
Sweden-based Hiab, a leading provider of on-road load handling equipment and services and a subsidiary of global cargo handling technology provider Finland-headed Cargotec, unveiled its latest innovation in recycling cranes, the new JONSERED 1500RZ at the Pollutec trade show in Lyon, France.
– One of the megatrends is urbanisation. More and more people are moving in the cities and this sets high expectations for waste handling and recycling. The new JONSERED recycling crane is designed for speedy operations which is essential in urban environments, said Jon Lopez, Vice President of Forestry and Recycling Cranes at Hiab.
The new recycling crane is meant for scrap metal handling and heavy duty recycling and supports lower lifetime costs as the fuel consumption is reduced with the variable pump system. The maximum lifting capacity of the new recycling crane is 13,8 tm and its outreach exceeds 9 metres. Safety features include Variable Stability Limit (VSL) for increased crane stability, Over Load Protection to avoid crane overloading as well as Load Holding Valve to prevent load dropping. The Operator Protection System protects the driver by preventing the crane from accessing the operator area.
– The new JONSERED 1500RZ crane is designed for total flexibility in operation. The customer can adapt it according to the business needs and choose between top seat, side-mounted top seat or stand-up platform with radio control. To ensure that the crane is well protected in harsh environments, it is painted with the advanced nDuranceTM surface protection system, said Toni Ahvenlampi, Senior Manager, Portfolio Management, Forestry Cranes.
In addition to the new JONSERED 1500RZ, Hiab also showcased its HIAB X-HiDuo 228 E-5 loader crane and its HiVisionTM concept which moves the crane operation to inside the truck cabin. The forestry crane operator can control the crane with the help of virtual reality goggles.
