MCL - Compliance - Manitou Specific

MCL - Compliance - Manitou Specific

In order to comply with AS1418.19 Australian Standards when using a Jib which will lift not more than 3 tons, a Maximum Capacity Limiter (MCL) system can be required.
The EQSS MCL kit for Manitou includes a fully calibrated and validated Limiter system, the necessary Hydraulic and Electrical components, load charts and documentation. Before installing, make sure the Machine is equipped with a Cut-off movement system. A simple way of checking if a cut-off movement system is installed on a machine is too check the presence of a “Parachute” override switch (image below).


The diagram below outlines the Manitou installation components of the Maximum Capacity Limiter
 

Note that Manitou only authorizes certain types of Jibs which are tested and validated in terms of stability and compliance with AS1418.19 by Manitou. This Kit is not valid for any other type of Jib or Winch.
