 Tower crane manufacturer Linden Comansa launches a new version of its Flat-Top 21 LC 550. This crane, which until now had two versions -12 and 18 tonnes of maximum load- has a new variation that can load up to 24 tonnes. This addition to the existing range is mainly due to the advances achieved by Linden Comansa during the development of the crane with highest capacity of the LC2100 Series, the 21 LC 750, with 48 tonnes of maximum load. In fact, both cranes share the same double-trolley system, composed of one rear trolley/hook and one front trolley/hook. Both can work separately or together, depending on the load requirements, and change of reeving is automatic. As it happens on the other versions, the 21 LC 550 24 t has an 80 m reach, and a freestanding height of 86,5 meters. The maximum jib-end load is 3250 kg, it has a 65 kW hoisting system, and the hoisting drum has capacity for 650 meters of cable. A 110 kW hoist mechanism is available as an option, with drums for 650 meters or 1450 meters of cable. Also, Linden Comansa has prepared an adaptation kit to upgrade a 21 LC 550 18 t that is already on the market to a 21 LC 550 24 t. This transformation will be easy, and cost affording for those owners who already have the version of 18 tonnes of maximum load. |
