6.F. -Page 72 of 131 Attachment B 15. While a winch is an option for the Effer, we suggest that the grabber be directly connected to the boom tip. This eliminates hanging hoses, saves overall cost for the winch. Furthermore, the elimination of the winch line means decreased future costs for replacing the wire rope. The crane will be much easier to maneuver through tight places. The grabber can then have rotation and open close functions, increasing the crew time to complete the job at hand. The grabber hydraulics are sent through the inside of the boom sections. This means a clean boom, with no wires or hoses to get tangled. No need for anti -two -block device. 16. The stabilizer controls are located on the unit and as well by the radio remote controller. Again, a distinct advantage of machine control. 17. The radio remote controller has a digital display, advising the operator of the current load lifting capacity. This helps to recognize when approaching an overloaded condition. All crane, stabilizer, and grabber functions are on the radio remote controller to include engine start/stop, truck horn. The remote controller, by Scanreco is the most sophisticated available today. Offers variable, finite controls. Multiple functions at one time are easy to operate. The remote has full proportionality, by simply moving the control paddles to any desired speed of movement. 18. Bubble level indicators are located on each side of the crane base. Furthermore, the crane is engineered if the truck is not level, it can operate up to 50 off level, much more forgiving than a telescopic crane that requires less than 1' off level. 19. The hydraulic system is variable, and proportional, utilizing flat face "O" ring style fittings. The cylinders are designed for long life and to support the crane in the horizontal position. This means a better load chart horizontally, when compare with telescopic type cranes. The hydraulic system has an automatic oil cooler, mounted on the crane space. 20.The capacity alert system is the highest level from Effer. This is the Progress crane management system. Progress allows the operator to work at any boom rotation angle, and automatically rates the unit based upon the spread of the stabilizers. This is accomplished within the system and does not require any input from the operator. For example, if the operator wants to have a clear left side of the truck (traffic or driver side) the horizontal beams can be in the stowed position, and just the legs deployed straight down to ground. The Progress system recognizes this condition and will not allow the crane to rotate to the street side. It would limit the rotation to be able to load or unload debris into the body, and of course the work area is not reduced or limited at all. In the case where the working side stabilizer beams might not be able to extend fully, again the Progress system automatically recognizes that condition. It will limit the lifting capacity, inch -for -inch, based upon the stabilizer spread, and keeps the unit from tipping over while lifting. 21. The Progress system advises the operator of the load on the hook in infinite dimensions, relative to the load chart. When the crane is reaching 90% of capacity, the systems send out a "beep" notifying the operator before the unit goes into overload. 243
