Smart lifting, compact power

Project: Smart lifting, compact power

For this project, the client, a loader crane manufacturer, expressed the need to update an existing model, aiming to introduce significant improvements in both technical and construction. The primary goal was to increase the machine’s performance and overall efficiency, making it more competitive and reliable.

The development process began with an in-depth analysis of the load capacity tables, which allowed us to identify the machinery’s various operating conditions. Based on this data, our technicians created spreadsheets capable of simulating the crane’s behavior, allowing us to accurately process and verify all the necessary information.

Creating a digital version of the machine was a crucial step, as it allowed our engineers to accurately perform all the checks required by European safety and performance regulations. At the same time, FEM analyses were conducted, essential for optimizing the design and sizing of each individual system component. This approach ensured not only the structural reliability but also the machine’s operational efficiency.

Thanks to this integrated approach, we were able to fully meet the client’s requirements. The new version of the crane was designed to reach a target capacity of 36 tons/meter, with a variable number of extensions, ensuring versatility and high performance. Furthermore, we paid particular attention to communication, carefully presenting and disseminating the project to enhance its technical content and make it easily accessible.
