Telescope Crane System

Most cranes used in the Oil and Gas offshore market have a fixed boom length. Some lattice boom cranes may change the length by adding/removing a boom section. Some box booms may, however, be a telescope boom crane.

Mipeg X will measure the extended boom using an extension sensor. This input will not only show the operator the true operating radius but also adjust the safe working load capacity, SWL, accordingly.

Please note that:

  • The extension can be supplied to suit the required telescope length.
  • The “spring return” rope used is in stainless steel. The Sensor body is seawater resistant Aluminum, hard coated epoxy for additional protection in corrosive environment,
  • The sensor is available both for a safe area application as well as Ex zone 1.
