Bigger LCL 500 LUFFING-JIB CRANE.

As time has progressed, projects have required larger and heavier lifting load. Due to this increased demand, Linden Comansa introduced the LCL500.

HIGH PERFORMANCE

Comansa luffing-jib cranes are in demand, for high rise buildings on congested sites. To obtain the necessary high performance in material handling for high rise buildings, the new LCL-500 uses frequency controlled drives rated at 110 kW on both luffing and hoist movement.

With the Comansa frequency control, not only the maximum speed with any permissible load is possible, but also ultra-low speeds in the positioning mode. In this mode the frequency controlled system can drive thru the zero point, without applying the brake.

Furthermore, for more efficiency of the system and a comfortable “feel” of the load, the control lever will adapt automatically its full control range to the given loads. For high-rise buildings, the drum of our new 110 kW hoist winch has a standard cable capacity of 940m (3,083ft.).

Optionally under consultation, a bigger drum is available with a cable capacity of 1,400m (4,593ft.). This capacity drum has been engineered for special high projects.

EASY ASSEMBLY WITH FAST

CONNECTIONS

To speed up installation, special attention was given to the design of the unions of the LCL-500 luffing jib crane. The unions of the cabin platform, access platforms and structural elements have now guiding and support elements for ease of installation. These fast connections guide and centre themselves.

Only after the crane component is located in position and rest on its own structure, the final fastening element is inserted.

This increases work-safety during the installation and dismantling of the crane.

AUTOMATIC CHANGE

FROM 12 TO 24 T MAXIMUM LOAD

The automatic reeving change, from the cabin, will allow the driver to change the crane’s maximum load capacity, from 12 to 24 t (26,450 to 52,900lbs.), in a matter of seconds, adapting the crane drive to the varying construction site conditions efficiently and fast. This will ultimately improve material handling cycles and save valuable working time.

TRANSPORT AND INSTALLATION

All crane parts can be dismantled and separated in light components of less than 9t (19,840lbs.), which are transport friendly, in HQ 40 containers. The low assembly weights allow use of smaller mobile cranes for erection and dismantling, with correspondingly reduced costs.

For congested sites, Comansa has designed the LCL- 500 crane with a counter-jib radius of 8.3m,(27.2ft.), using aerial counterweights made of concrete. For extremely narrow spaces the counter-jib radius of the LCL-500 can be reduced to 7.4m (24.3ft.), using steel counterweights. In out-of-service condition the LCL- 500 can be parked at a very reduced jib radius (See data sheet).

As with previous models of luffing-jib cranes, Comansa has followed its design philosophy of fixed counterweights for simpler, faster installation, and greater crane safety.

See Diagram Hoist reeving changer Hook Pulley-holder

PRE-INSTALLATION OF THE LUFFING ROPE

For this crane, Comansa has designed a system which allows the pre-installation of the luffing rope reeving. The crane is delivered from the factory with all the reeving from the luffing mechanism mounted on the pulley blocks (See picture).

The great advantage is the fast installation of the luffing rope, as everything arrives at the job site already mounted. During dismantling of the crane, the reeving of the luffing mechanism remains assembled, saving time and improving profitability for our customers’ next installation.

NEW, REINFORCED 2.5m TOWER SECTIONS

For the LCL-500 crane Linden Comansa has designed a new 2.5m (8.2ft.) mast section with denomination D36. With this mast section the LCL-500 crane will have a maximum freestanding mast height of 68.3m (224ft.). The new Linden Comansa D36 mast section is manufactured on modern numerical controlled machining centres. The precision of these new machines provide sufficiently small manufacturing tolerances to permit the weight of the crane to rest on the corner angles of the mast, rather than on the pins.

This ensures long-life in addition to fast and safe installation.

For economical transport, the new Linden Comansa D36 mast sections are dismountable in panels.

10 M FOLDING CROSS BASE ON SCREWS-JACKS

Following the great success of our 6m (19.7ft.) folding cross-base, which can be leveled in a minimum of time, Comansa has designed a new, 10m (32.8ft.) foldable cross-base on screw-jacks.

This base is transportable in one single bundle or easily dismountable in parts depending on the needs of the site. With this cross base the LCL-500 crane will have a maximum freestanding mast height of 68.3m (224ft.).

A DOUBLE SECURITY SYSTEM

Extra safety of the LCL-500 is provided by a new double security system which works both electronically and mechanically. The load and moment limitation of the crane incorporates, in addition to the standard electronic safety system, independent mechanical limitation devices.

Once the moment of the crane is adjusted at one selected radius, the new mechanical limitation system, patented by Linden Comansa, reproduces the permissible moment for all jib positions.

New Folding Cross Base (Static Base) on Screw Jacks.

These LCL SERIES - LINDEN COMANSA LUFFING-JIB TOWER CRANE SERIES have Definative Advantages.(below)



The LCL (Luffing) Series are an Excellent City-Use Crane for confined spaces with a tail swing radius of only 1.8m. It is fair to say our competitors cranes require 6-7m more turning circle which can double the cost of the ties to the building.

These cranes also have half the structural loading in both the base and tied-to-the-structure than our competitors cranes. (ref. to Engineer if not understood.)

TOTAL MODULARITY.   The design and development of the entire series has been based once again on Linden Comansa's Modular System. Most of the Jib sections are interchangeable between the cranes and the series, and mast sections are interchangeable beteen the cranes of the series and also between the models from other families of Flat-Top cranes.

All the cranes from this series have jib lengths of 5 metres. which allows a great variety of jib lengths to dial down depending on the jobsite. These luffing-jib cranes can be erected with our 6 or 10 metre-wide folding cross bars (static base) or with a new 8 metre wide base which can be easily folded to be transported in one truck or container. This 8 metre case can also be used in other models of Linden Comansa tower cranes to achieve an increase of heights up to 30%. Also this base can be used for the 21 LC750 (Flat-top) and the LCL 500 (Big Luffing), which up to now could only be erected using the 10m wide base. This helps out customers who want even more variety and options with their machines.

FAST ERECTION AND EASY TRANSPORT. The LCL Series has been designed to achieve fast easy and most importantly safe assembly. All of the models in the series have the hoist mechanism placed in direct view of the cabin to increase the production by the operator. In the rear, or counterjib, we have the luffing mechanism, emergency brakes and electrical panel. All of these locations are due to our customer feedback and importance we value on our customer base. This series keeps in mind all of the benefits of our previous cranes, but with new innovations from our R&D department. The Modern design from Linden Comansa allows us reduce the erection weights and therefore make the erection much more cost effective. We have also reduced the slewing radius on the counterjib to fit into tighter jobsites and also allow us to simplify the hoist cable route for the crane itself. This helps to increase production while reducing potential downtime for maintenance.

Hoist and luffing cables are delivered from the factory with pre-installed reevings, which enormously improves the assembly time. In addition, it is not necessary to undo the reevings between erections of the crane. Both of those features will greatly benefit each customer from the project to project.

The four models provided maintain Linden Comansa's efforts to allow safe and full access to the entire crane. We have full platforms, ladders and ladder cages to decrease assembly time, insure safe maintenance and most importantly provide added safety for everyone.

All the components are light and compact, and can be transported on trucks or in standard containers. For example LCL 190, with fixing angles versions ES43: with jib length of 60 metres, and height of 27.6 metres, can be transported in only 7 trucks.



HIGH SPEED MECHANISMS. The LCL Series includes the Effi-Plus system in its hoist mechanisms. This is a motorisation system that improves the hoist speed with light loads by up to 70%. In comparison with an engine of the same power but without this system the Effi_plus increases in the hoist operations by up to 27% the productivity.. All of this production increases still don't impact the energy consumption of the crane,   The Effi=Plus system is the best solution to increase our customers' production.

HOIST AND LUFFING COORDINATION. Linden Comansa's luffing-jib cranes include the electronic coordination between the hoist and luffing movements. this control system, popularly named "Level Luffing". allows the crane operator to displace the load horizontally only by pressing a button while applying the luffing movement.

HIGH TECHNOLOGY = HIGH SAFETY.

The LCL Series has been designed with numerous technological features that assure the correct and safe functioning of the crane.

A hydraulic push and retention system, which prevents the luffed jib to suffere uncontrolled movements due to the wind squalls when it is in vertical position.
As anitloosening system for the luffing cable tension which acts in parellel with the previous feature.
An additional safety mechanism that consists of a control system of the pressure of the cylinder in the hydraulic system.
A double mechanical and electronic system of limitation of load / moment, with indication of the angle of jib luffing for the operator.
A double brake system in the luffing mechanism for added safety.

In addition, the different mechanisms of the crane guarantee soft and safe movements.

The Torque applied by the slewing motors adapts depending on the jib angle; when the jib is luffed up, the torque is reduced for a softened movement.
The speed of the luffing movement changes depending on the jib angle: when the jib approaches the limit positions (both vertical and horizontal) the luffing speed progressively decelerates to assure an appropriate and safe approximation of the load.
Both hoist and luffing movements allow microspeed mode for an optimal positioning control.

OTHER FEATURES:

Intuitive and easy to use Electronic Control System with onscreen indicators. Anticollision and forbidden zones systems are also available as on option.

The electric control is all installed inside a single and conveniently lighted cabinet for easier maintenance.
Panoramic cabin includes an armchair with integrated controls and other ergonomic features that increase the operator's comfort, such as air conditioning, acoustic and thermal insulation, fire extinguisher, tinted glass, CD and MP3 player, etc.

LCL SERIES.

The new Panoramic XL cabin is also available as on option.

Wider and more spacious, improves the conditions of the operator's ergonomics, features new accessories such as mini refrigerator, and includes space for a microwave or some other small domestic appliance.
