automatically. This is particularly useful for long-running job sites, where tensioning is required more frequently. The Crane Control System (CCS) features too, with its customisable operator profiles; simpler commissioning; load curve P+ functionality and much more. Comansa’s large flat-top Comansa announced during bauma 2019 the upcoming addition of another model to its wide range of large flat-top tower cranes. The new 21LC1400 will be available worldwide from September this year and will come in two versions, with maximum load capacity of 50 or 66 t. The main expected application of the 21LC1400 is to work in prefabricated prefinished volumetric construction (PPVC) and infrastructure projects, but

The new Quick Set will be available as an option in all flat-top models of the LC range and will be an important benefit for rental companies who have to dismantle their cranes and move them to another jobsite very often. At bauma 2019, Comansa also displayed its 50 t flat-top model, the 21LC1050, which was said to be the largest hammerhead crane at the show. The crane has a maximum radius of 80 m with optional radius of 85 and 90 m, and is designed mainly for large industrial, infrastructure and PPVC projects, among others. The exhibited crane was sold with full jib and mast configuration to rental company BKL Baukran Logistik, which will supply it to an upcoming modular construction jobsite of German contractor Klebl in Berlin. b

the new model will also provide the best performance in any other site in which it is necessary to lift very heavy loads. Like Comansa’s most recent large models, the 21LC1400 will feature a modular design of the counterjib to highly reduce the counter-radius in constrained jobsites. A new single and compact trolley has also been designed for the 21LC1400 instead of Comansa’s double trolley system, standard in other models, as the new crane will work mainly in projects in which the maximum load capacity is needed in almost every lift, like PPVC. Also announced at bauma 2019 was the upcoming Quick Set, an electronic limitation system that will reduce the set-up time of the cranes from three hours to 45 minutes, and will also reduce the number of staff during such operation.
