Air Technical Industries Introduces Mobile Crane

Air Technical Industries, Mentor, Ohio, announces the launch of the RBC-50000SPBW Self-Propelled Walk-Behind Mobile Crane. With a capacity of 50,000 pounds, the company says it is eco-conscious and energy-efficient in lifting-transporting technologies. It is designed for indoor use where heavy components need to be lifted, transported, positioned and installed.

The crane can lift up to 240 inches. It is self-propelled with variable speed controls. It features power steering with sharp turning to each side for easy maneuverability, the company says. The powered telescopic boom is designed to reach beyond, over and under, or into hard to reach places, making it suitable for lifting components such as large castings, motors high up on to a pedestal, gen-packs, compressors, boilers, transformers and aircraft engines. It can be used for applications such as assembly work, loading trucks and container handling.

Operators have dual controls for flexibility. All controls are push button operated and built into the steering handle. It has another control on a remote pendant so that operators can align the load where needed. It is equipped with an optional gooseneck boom to reach into tight spots between the ceiling and highest positioned item for installation and removal.

The crane travels on ten polyurethane wheels to reduce and spread floor loading and to protect the floor. All wheels are equipped with precision machine roller bearings for smooth, quiet and easy mobility, the company says. The propulsion is DC battery powered 48V.

The RBC-series of cranes are available in a variety of capacities and sizes from 1000-, 2000-, 3000-, 4000-, 6000-, 10,000-, 15,000-, 20,000- and 50,000-pound capacities. Smaller models start at 34 inches wide.
