simulators are under the control of an actual CCS user interface. Vortex simulators are powered by Vortex
Studio, the high-fidelity physics-based real-time simulation platform that delivers unparalleled realism and immersion. This means that the simulation includes actual on-board crane computers and load moment indicators, different boom configurations, accurate simulation of machine behavior, plus cable physical property simulation for winch line, slings, and load, and multiple rigging options. As with all Vortex simulators, high
quality visuals and sound effects complete the immersive experience. This overarching accuracy ensures skills learned on the simulator will transfer better to the live equipment. “CM Labs is an ideal partner for OEMs
like Manitowoc because of our ability to provide turnkey development services that leverage authentic OEM control sets and programmable logic controllers and control systems,” said Arnold Free, Chief Commercial Officer of CM Labs.

Mammoet Continues to Stretch the Limits of Heavy Lifitng
> Mammoet has announced the introduction of a crane concept that is derived from its successful fleet of Ring Cranes (MSG80 and range of PTC cranes): the MSG1000. The concept of a ringer crane has
revolutionized efficiency in both construction and maintenance work across heavy industries. These industries operate on ever larger scales, yet at the same time existing production sites are becoming more complex and congested as they are expanded and improved. The Mammoet Sliding Gantry (MSG) and its range of PTC cranes combine extreme lifting capacity (up to 5,000 tons) with an unprecedented long reach of up to
256 meters (main boom plus jib). Combined with a small footprint and 360 degree versatility, these cranes have proved their worth in the last decade in dozens of projects around the world where there was a need for high capacity in congested or confined areas. Currently, Mammoet operates ten PTCs worldwide. “The MSG80 and PTC cranes have
revolutionized construction and maintenance efficiency in the last decade,” explains Jacques Stoof, Global Director Market Development and Innovation at Mammoet. “However, we see from developments in, for example, modular construction, there is a growing need for cranes with significantly more lifting capacity than the market has seen thus far. While we have left the basic concept of the PTC intact, we have enhanced its capacity. Among other features, a double boom and strand jacks in combination with winches- based hoisting significantly increases its capacity – up to 18,000 metric tons.” In the coming months, Mammoet will
discuss the concept with its main customers in different segments to further explore how
Harrington Hoists, Inc. Defi ning Power and Reliability
There is no questioning the superior quality of Harrington’s RY Series ultra-low headroom wire rope trolley hoists. Designed specifi cally for safety, reliability and performance, these H4 rated hoists are loaded with revolutionary features for high demand applications and come standard with dual speed VFD controls on both hoist and trolley for ultimate lifting and lowering accuracy. A no load high speed function allows for hoist operation at 1.5 times the rated speed with a load less than 25% of rated capacity to increase productivity. RY ultra-low headroom rope trolley hoists will deliver quality beyond expectations for any heavy duty lifting demand.
• VFD dual speed control for hoist and trolley - Standard • No load high speed function - Standard • Premium wire rope (IWRC coated core) - Standard • Externally adjustable upper/lower limit switches - Standard • High performance Pull-Rotor motor brake with 5 Year Warranty - Standard • Full 360° rope guide - Standard • Standard confi gurations are certifi ed and listed to UL 1340 - Standard
