Crane-Hoist System: Reduces Cycle Times on Lighter Loads Linden Comansa has introduced the Effi-Plus crane-hoist drive system, which significantly increases hoisting and lowering speeds on lighter loads, thus reducing overall lift cycle times. The system uses a brake to limit the maximum speed of the electric motor, thereby extending the life of the machine when not working under high loads. When Effi-Plus is used with the crane's automatic reeving function, the operator can change the crane speed-load chart from the cab in a matter of minutes. Effi-Plus is designed to work on Linden Comansa 24-, 37-, 50- and 65-kW drives of the LC1100, LC2100 and luffing-jib LCL cranes. Linden Comansa; www.comansa.com/eng/
