IMT crane
The 47/326 crane from Iowa Mold Tooling Co. (IMT), Garner, Iowa, has a lifting capacity of 21,625 lbs. at a radius of 15 ft. 1 in. It has a dual-power plus link arm system, which, IMT says can accommodate long reaches and lifting in high positions. The crane comes with a rated capacity limiter (RCL) system that monitors the crane’s load movement, operation and function. In an overload situation, the system warns the operator and interrupts the distribution of oil for crane functions, while allowing functions that reduce load movement to remain operational.
