Fiber ropes – a new stage in the development of cranes

Ropes have been used for lifting and moving loads for many centuries. Even during the construction of the Egyptian pyramids, strong ropes were used to transport stone blocks. Since then, several thousand years have passed, not only the lifting mechanisms have changed, but also the ropes themselves. At first, ropes were woven from fibers of plant or animal origin, but now steel ropes are usually used in construction cranes. However, in the West, a number of companies are conducting research on the creation of fiber ropes for cranes, and they have achieved some success.

POTAIN MCT 205 J10 (NEW)

      New crane, what can I say about the MCT 205 crane, the advantage of this crane is that it is free to stand at 59.4 m high and 65 m boom. The crane is assembled in China, the quality is good, but technically it works as MС 235 but it has not been modified in a modern way - a trolley on a boom, the drive works without a frequency Converter, the old VAC developed in teristor blocks remains. There are only 2 speeds on the cart. it is very inconvenient that the first speed works with the brake machine, and the second without, well, it is not convenient. The turn is also without a frequency Converter, only left the motor with one brake. So let's say we saved!!! Only the cargo winch remains with the KEB frequency Converter.
