Iowa Mold Tooling Co. Inc. (IMT) introduced the 32 tm crane to its lineup of articulating cranes ranging from 2.5 to 80 tm. 

Rated 222,050 foot-pounds, the crane features a maximum lifting capacity of 15,058 pounds at a radius of 14 feet 9 inches. The crane offers one of the industry’s longest horizontal reaches in the 30 tm range: 69 feet 7 inches with eight hydraulic extensions.

Productivity-enhancing features of the 32 tm articulating crane include the dual-power plus link-arm system, 15-degree overbending, continuous rotation, and a standard radio remote control. The crane comes standard with the RCL (rated capacity limiter) 5300 system to monitor load moment, operation, and function.

Ultra-high tensile steel construction of the hexagonal boom provides a superior lift-to-weight ratio, high lifting capacity at long reaches and increased payload capabilities. Required mounting space has been minimized, providing more space on the truck body and additional truck configuration possibilities.

The RCL system monitors the crane’s load moment, operation and function. In an overload situation, the system warns the operator and interrupts the distribution of oil for crane functions, while allowing functions that reduce load moment to remain operational. The RCL 5300 cooperates with the user and compensates when the RCL senses a situation requiring intervention.

Additional features of the 32 tm crane include an internal hose routing system for hose protection, multiple stabilizer options and an innovative, flexible stow bracket design that secures boom for transportation but does not allow bracket damage.

The 32 tm crane joins the complete lineup of IMT articulating cranes ranging from the 2.5 tm (18,085 foot-pound) model to the 80 tm (516,440 foot-pound) model.
