A low-cost, light-weight service crane, the Venturo ET6K electric crane, has been added to the telescopic service crane product line of Venco Venturo Industries LLC.
The crane has a maximum capacity of 2,000 pounds, said a recent news release from the Cincinnati-based manufacturer. That places it below the requirement for crane operator certification from the federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration. The new deadline for meeting that standard, commonly known as OSHA 1926.1427, is Nov. 10, 2017.
The ET6K has a standard configuration that includes a manual extension boom from six feet to 10 feet, and hydraulic elevation from -5 degrees to +75 degrees. The crane has a rating of 6,000 foot pounds.
Its winch features a high-efficiency, heavy-duty three-stage electric planetary gear drive, 12-volt permanent magnet motor, and dual braking systems, the news release said.
“The ET6K comes standard with a capacity overload shut-off system, aircraft-quality wire rope, and remote control pendant,” the release said.
Options include radio remote control, an anti two-block system which meets ANSI B30.5 safety requirements from the American National Standards Institute, mounting pedestals for platform body applications, outriggers and jacklegs for a variety of truck bodies, and an adjustable boom rest with a load block storage hook.
The company says the crane is suitable for “general service applications” on any truck with a gross vehicle weight rating of 8,000 pounds or heavier.
