Edge Line truck mounted cranes extended to suit a range of applications

Hyva, a Netherlands-headquartered manufacturer of hydraulic loading and unloading systems for trucks and trailers, has added a 40 tonne-metre class to its range of Edge Line truck mounted cranes. There are five models in the new class comprising three rack and pinion and two endless slewing models.

The rack and pinion models are the HC 401, the HC 401 K, and HC 441, while the endless slewing models are the HC 405e and HC 445e.

The cranes have between two to eight extensions, providing outreaches between 8.02 to 20.90 metres. A ten-metre jib is available, although not for the K-boom version.

The HC 401 has a rating of 40 tm and a 430 degree slewing angle. The short boom version of this crane, the HC 401 K, also has a 40tm rating and a 430 degree slewing angle.

The HC 441 is rated at 44 tm, has a 430 degree slewing angle and comes with Hyva’s Proportional Lift Control System (P-LCS).

For the endless slewing models, the HC 405e is rated at 40 tm, while the HC 445e is rated at the higher 44tm and also comes with the Proportional Lift Control System (P-LCS).

All cranes come with a three-year general warranty and a five-year warranty on structural parts.

All the cranes come with articulated stabiliser feet, designed to provide greater stability and a longer cylinder life, and a Stability Control System. Hoses and pipes run inside the stabiliser beams – also to extend their lifetime. Extra Extension Speed (EES), designed to safely increase the speed of extensions, also comes as standard, along with a Smooth Descent system (SDS) to reduce oscillation and increase control, a Liftrod Articulated system (LAS), designed to improve versatility in different working positions, plus soft closing retraction to reduce oscillation of the load during retraction. The cranes are also supplied with a centralised greasing system to aid regular maintenance, a high-pressure filter, manual control with a wide range of radio controls.

In addition, the new range includes: a Magic Touch (MT) function that allows the driver to stow or unstow the crane ready for work at the touch of a button; Dynamic Load Diagram (DLD) which is designed to optimise stabilisation and allow the driver to verify in advance the crane lifting capacity based on truck stability; plus a DLD Simulator which shows the operator the possible working area for different scenarios of load and stabiliser extension before use.

A new feature, Connectivity 4.0, which incorporates an internet connection to a Cloud where all relevant operation and maintenance data is stored is available in certain markets.

A wide range of available attachments makes the series well suited to a variety of applications, Hyva added.

“We are proud to add this new range of 40tm cranes to our Edge Line,” commented Giuseppe Bevacqua, product manager cranes. “High performance levels, together with a wide range of innovative features and variety of accessories and attachments, make these cranes ideally suited to many applications from construction to logistics, oil and gas to mining, maintenance and rental.”

The Edge Line is produced at Hyva’s new dedicated crane assembly line in Poviglio, Italy.
