Demag launches two intelligent solutions for Gottwald Cranes

Demag Cranes announced the release of two intelligent features for its Gottwald Mobile Harbor Cranes group.

The two new applications are the Vertical Lift Assistant for single cargo lifts and Tandem Lift Assistant for two cranes, where accuracy and safety are increased for heavy and oversized cargoes, the company said in a statement.

The Tandem Lift Assistant also reportedly enables terminal operators to synchronize lifts with two Gottwald mobile Harbor cranes with the full capacity of both cranes.

The Vertical Lift Assistant, according to Demag, ensures loads won’t sway when lifting off the ground, even if the crane driver does not have a clear view by utilizing rope inclination sensors.
