Upgrade for the Demag AC 500-8 – Cranes Today

Terex Cranes has upgraded its Demag AC 500-8, enhancing the machine’s technical characteristics.The latest version of the crane complies with the United States’

Tier 4 emission standards, which means that the unit now has access to the US market. As for the European market, it complies with Euromot 4 standards.Along with the crane’s emission upgrade, the manufacturer has added the new IC-1 Plus control system. This control system is designed to provide the crane’s maximum allowable lifting capacity, based on the slewing angle, for every crane configuration. Terex said: “The new control system no longer limits the maximum lifting capacity to a pre-calculated, 360° load chart which was based on the most unstable position of the crane. Instantaneous capacity calculations allow customers to take full advantage of the maximum lifting capacity available at any given slewing position for any crane configuration.”
