October 1, 2014 - Applications for articulating cranes are numerous. Lift and reach needs can vary drastically. That’s why leading manufacturer Iowa Mold Tooling Co. Inc. (IMT) offers a complete range of articulating cranes designed to help customers become more productive and profitable.

 

With ratings from 2.5 tm (18,085 foot-pounds) to 80 tm (516,440 foot-pounds) and various options, the IMT lineup has an articulating crane for almost any job. Video of IMT articulating cranes at work is available on the IMT YouTube page.

 

IMT uses customer input to drive enhancements to its articulating crane line. The company recently introduced new and improved cranes from 9 to 12 tm. The 9/65, 10/72, 11/78 and 12/86 cranes have ratings ranging from 65,100 foot-pounds (9 tm) to 86,075 foot-pounds (11.9 tm) and maximum lift capacities from 8,380 pounds (3,800 kilograms) to 10,230 pounds (4,640 kilograms). New features include SL (single link) or DL (dual link) options, 15-degree “overbending” and weight reduced by 10 to 15 percent from previous models. Each crane can be fitted with up to five hydraulic extensions to provide application-specific reach.

 

“IMT is committed to providing customers lift and reach capabilities that help them have success,” said John Field, product manager of material handling at IMT. “We focus on offering a wide range of crane choices, and we plan to show that commitment by introducing another new articulating crane model in the near future.”

 

IMT articulating cranes are designed for:

• Performance. Excellent strength and reach, high working speed and precision control maximize operator efficiency.
• Long-reach capabilities. Hydraulically powered extensions offer reach customized for the application.
• More payload capacity. IMT articulating cranes provide lower weight and stow within themselves, allowing more payload capacity and space for materials.
• Key safety features. Every IMT articulating crane comes equipped with the RCL 5300 (rated capacity limiter) for operator safety.
