Altec has begun outfitting its AC45-127S telescopic boom truck with Hirschmann's new iSCALE control system.
The load moment and area protection system, known as Altec’s LMAP system, consists of a complete Hirschmann system, including the vSCALE D3 display, cSCALE S6 control unit, and various sensors.
Hirschmann custom programmed the LMAP system to meet Altec’s specific requirements. The console features a bright 7-in. color display with video capability and intuitive menu navigation. The crane operator can view all crane information, including general configuration, crane geometry, and engine information. The operator can also define audible alarm set points (area protection) and numerous user warnings that help improve awareness on the job site.
The reliable and robust system came from a partnership that Altec and Hirschmann formed in order to provide the crane operator with a dependable control solution.
