Memory Position

TURNS HARD WORK INTO SMART WORK
Save up to 4 crane positions with the Memory Position and return to them again and again with only 2 levers.

Safety, precision, and efficiency are crucial when working with a crane at any time of day or night. Particularly for repetitive tasks, attention may decline over time. To reduce complexity and relieve the crane operator, the new MEMORY POSITION assistance function is an excellent solution. While it cannot replace responsibility and necessary concentration, it makes
work easier, faster, and safer.

Memory Position is precise, intelligent & fast

  • Simplifies repetitive lifting applications
  • More time and attention for complex lifting operations by simply switching to conventional controls
  • More precise and faster control of stored points allows for more lifts per day
  • General reduction of the crane operator's workload
  • Risk of damage to the crane or load is reduced
  • Significant reduction in training time for new crane operators

THE MORE EFFICIENT WAY TO OPERATE CRANES

INTUITIVE IN APPLICATION

The new Memory Position enables crane operators to store up to four crane positions. If the situation changes, such as a new job site, new positions can also be defined. With only two levers on a linear lever radio remote control and just one joystick on a cross lever radio remote control, a stored crane position can be reached again. The geometry page displays the distance of
the extensions to the stored position and the necessary angle adjustment in real-time. The intelligent system considers the load on the crane tip and the vehicle inclination to reach the predefined point precisely. The slewing motion must be controlled separately to allow better reactions to obstacles

Easier and more efficient work for repetitive applications: 

  • Performing applications on roofs and building facades
  • Loading and unloading trucks with palleted goods
  • Emptying of underfloor containers
  • Spreading bulk material by using  a grapple
  • Working in confined spaces

BENEFITS

EFFICIENCY IN CRANE OPERATION

  • Simplifies repetitive lifting applications
  • More time and focus for complex lifting tasks by switching to conventional control when needed
  • Precise and fast positioning allows for more lifts per day

OPERATOR SUPPORT

  • Reduces the crane operator's workload
  • Minimizes the risk of crane or load damage
  • Significantly shortens training time for new crane operators

ADAPTABILITY AND SAFETY

  • Available for all TEC crane models with PALTRONIC 180 as Memo Light or Memo
  • Ready for immediate use without calibration
  • Functions as a semi-automatic assistance system and can be easily overridden using the dead man's button on the radio remote control
  • Compatible with almost all PALFINGER assistance systems, especially Smart Control
  • The Fall Protection Mode (FPM) and workman basket can only be used when Memory Position is deactivated
  • If a restricted area, such as a cab protection zone, is within the crane’s movement radius, the crane stops at the boundary with a speed reduction ramp; further control is possible by releasing the dead man's button

GOOD TO KNOW

  • Availability: The Memory Position is available on all new TEC crane models with the PALTRONIC 180 as Memo Light or Memo. 
  • Ready for immediate use: The Memory Position is ready for immediate use anytime, anywhere. No calibration is required. 
  • Memory Position is an option: The Memory Position supports the crane operator in repetitive tasks as a semi-automatic assistance system. It can be changed simply to the conventional way of operation the crane by releasing the so-called dead man's button on the radio remote control. 
  • Compatibility: The Memory Position can be configured for all extension variants with and without fly jib. In addition, outreach-increasing attachments, such as the MFA jib, are included when using the Memory Position. 
    Compatibility is guaranteed with almost all PALFINGER assistance systems, especially Smart Control is an optimal addition. The FPM (Fall Protection Mode) and the workman basket can only be used when the Memory Position is deactivated. The comfort and assistance systems SRC & RTC in connection with a rope winch function work independently of the Memory Position. 
    If there is a restricted area, e.g. a cab protection, within the crane's movement radius when approaching a stored point with the Memory Position, then the loader crane stops when reaching the restricted area limit with speed reduction ramp. By releasing the dead man's button, the crane can be controlled further without Memory Position.
