COMANSA LCL165 LOAD CHART AND SPECS — LUFFING JIB TOWER CRANES

Comansa LCL165 crane series is a free-standing stationary luffing jib tower crane. Luffing jib tower cranes are designed for urban use where space is congested. The crane also has an ergonomic cab which provides the comfort required for long hours on the job to help keep the operator focused.

There are two models within the series — Comansa LCL165-8t and Comansa LCL165-12t.

Comansa LCL165-8t is a free-standing stationary luffing jib tower crane with a maximum freestanding height is 49.5 m (162 ft.). This tower crane is the smallest of the LCL series and has a maximum lift capacity of 8 metric tons (8.8 U.S. tons). The maximum jib length is 50 m (164 ft.), while the jib is at maximum length the lifting capacity is 2 metric tons (2.2 U.S. tons). Comansa designed the LCL series to be easier to transport by creating a modular system that breaks down large components and making them lighter. Many of the parts are interchangeable with other Comansa tower models creating many configurations that work best for the job. The crane comes equipped with a 24kW hoist which can be substituted for a more powerful 37 kW or a 65 kW hoist. The hoist and luffing cables come pre-installed with reevings. The cabin has an ergonomic design that makes working more comfortable for the operator. The cab includes an easy to use Electronic Control System with onscreen indicators, along with anti-collision and forbidden zone systems.

Comansa LCL165-12t is a free-standing stationary luffing jib tower crane, the maximum freestanding height is 56.6 m (185.69 ft.). This tower crane has a maximum lift capacity of 12 metric tons (13.8 U.S. tons). The maximum jib length is 50 m (164 ft.), and its lifting capacity when fully extended is 2 metric tons (2.2 U.S. tons). Comansa designed the LCL series to be easier to transport by creating a modular system that breaks down large components and making them lighter. Many of the parts are interchangeable with other Comansa tower models creating many configurations that work best for the job. The LCL 165 12t comes equipped with a 50 kW hoist which can be substituted for a more powerful 65kW hoist, the hoist, and luffing cables are pre-installed with reevings from the factory. All hoisting mechanisms feature the Effi-Plus system for increasing hoist speeds at low loads.

What makes the LCL series different from other tower cranes is that the hoisting mechanisms are placed in the front, near to the cabin, instead of mounted on the counter jib. These unique designs help reduce the slewing radius on the counter jib to fit into tighter job sites. It also simplifies the hoist cable route for the crane itself which helps to increase productivity and reducing downtime for maintenance. The crane utilizes the Effi-Plus system which increases hoist speeds at low capacity. The system makes it easier to operate smoothly while moving without sudden stops.
