WIKA Mobile Control GmbH & Co. KG

Lattice Boom CraneWe know the limit!

Precise control for safely positioning loads

System solutions from WIKA Mobile Control offer maximum safety for the demanding deployment of mobile lattice boom cranes in robust environments. The booms, which are combined from lattice sections, enable a large number of operating modes.

The stability of the crane is ensured by monitoring counter weights, counter jibs and the maximum load. Via force measurementangle measurement and pressure measurement safe operation on construction sites ist ensured. Tipping over of the crane is prevented according to the standard EN 13000.
