August 5, 2014 - Altec Industries is now fitting its AC45-127S telescopic boom truck with new Hirschmann iSCALE control system. The Load Moment and Area Protection system, known as Altec’s LMAP system, consists of a complete Hirschmann system package, including the vSCALE D3 display, cSCALE S6 control unit, and various sensors. 

Hirschmann customized the programming of the LMAP system to meet Altec’s specific requirements. The console features a 7-in. color display with video capability and intuitive menu navigation. Crane operators can view all crane information, such as the general configuration, crane geometry, and engine parameters. Operators also can define audible alarm set points (area protection) and numerous user warnings which help to improve awareness on the job site.
