A new version of the Dominator III mechanics body has been released by Iowa Mold Tooling Co. Inc.
The manufacturer, based in Garner, Iowa, announced the new Dominator III on Sept. 28 in advance of the biennial International Construction and Utilities Exposition in Louisville, Ky.
The new Dominator III was on display at the IMT stand at ICUEE, which took place Sept. 29-Oct. 1.
“The new body design accommodates the IMT model 12000 telescopic crane without a front stabilizer for customers that do not require 100 percent lift capacity in all load zones,” said a news release from IMT.
That crane, which has a trademarked Penta Boom design, provides up to 30 feet of reach.
“With a flat top that eliminates stress concentrations inherent with certain boom designs and a half hex that controls tracking at long reaches, the innovative five-sided boom offers premium strength and durability,” the release said.
The new body is available in 14-foot and 11-foot lengths, which replace the earlier 13-foot version. It is designed for those who need more capacity than the 10,000-pound maximum Dominator II but less than the 14,000-pound capacity Dominator IV.
IMT introduced the 13-foot Dominator III at ConExpo-Con/Agg in Las Vegas in March 2011, according to a news release in advance of that show.
“Since its release, the IMT Dominator III mechanics truck has been serving a unique niche customer with mid-range lifting needs,” IMT general manager Jim Hasty said in the latest news release. “Our new body design is the result of listening to our customers’ needs, and demonstrates our unyielding commitment to providing reliable and durable products that help them get their work done.”
The new Dominator III comes in four configuration options: “two side pack configurations for each body length — a right front raised with the left side all raised and an all raised version,” the release said.
Features of the IMT 12000 crane include the following:
• 10 degrees of negative boom angle,
• a fully proportional piston grip radio remote control,
• LED overload indicator lights on the remote control handle,
• a flip sheave boom tip,
• a planetary winch, and
• a patented boom hook stow.
Other features of the Dominator III include front vertical compartments with single doors; a patented shelf hanger bracket system; an energy absorbing boom stow; high-intensity LED compartment lighting; and a multiplex electrical system with programmable logic.
