Features
Variable frequency drives
Variable frequency drives provide a lower initial current
rush and progressive speed change which can be
supported by a smaller generator set than comparable
cranes.
Optional cab
Optional fixed height cab and access
ladder allows operator to view the job
site from a more advantageous position.
North American Highway Axle
Simplify road transport with the North American High-
way Axle and adaptation kit 202. Multiple pin positions
for optimal weight distribution, DOT compliance and an
optional attachable 3rd axle make this an ideal solution
for your transportation needs.
Efficiency and reliability
The Igo 50 has a simple and quick set up. While onsite, the crane
works quietly, reducing interruption to the surrounding area.

Specifications
Jib
40 m (131 ft) radius standard bi-folding offsettable lattice jib.
Removable jib extensions can allow additional horizontal jib
operating radii of 28 m (92 ft) or 36 m (118 ft).Two (2) tie bar
lines with adjustable lengths allow jib to be offset 8˚ and 20˚.
Folds to 14 m (46 ft) radius or 29,6 m (97 ft) radius. Two (2)
erecting speeds controlled from the remote, opening and aligning
are carried out automatically by two (2) hydraulic cylinders.
Galvanized folding mast with hydraulic cylinder for erection.
Two (2) erecting speeds controlled from the remote. No locking
necessary. 360˚ rotation possible during erection.
Outriggers swing and lock into position. 4,5 m (14.8 ft) square
outrigger spread with 2,5 m (8.2 ft) slewing radius. Level bubble
integrated into the chassis. Outrigger pads are stowed on the crane
during transport (540 x 410 mm [21 in x 16 in]). *Optional
outrigger pads available at heights of 200 mm (7.9 in) and 400
mm (15.7 in).
5640 kg (12,434 lb) concrete ballast standard. Crane with
standard ballast is able to be transported on several *axle sets.
*Additional 22 800 kg (50,268 lb) concrete ballast optional.
480 volt, 60 Hz measured at the turntable. Earth rod and electric
cable stowed on the crane during transport.
SM/DM block for 2 or 4-part line. One pin removal to change
between SM and DM. Pure SM1 (section of hook block removed)
is possible with gain of 100 kg (220 lb) lifting capacity.
Wireless remote control provides information to the operator
about **wind speed, radius, hook height, load, and moment.
Lights and buzzers alert the operator when nearing limits of
operation.
Auxiliary remote attached by umbilical cord ensures continual
operation in case of battery or other malfunction of the wireless
remote control.
Electronic wind speed meter to alert the operator of wind
speed conditions. Provides selective display on the radio
remote. Maximum in service wind speed is 72 km/h
(45 mph) and maximum out of service wind speed is
150 km/h (93 mph).
RVF 51 Optima+ slewing mechanism with maximum swing speed
of 0.8 RPM. Progressive control of speed with counter-slewing
possible, anti-load swinging system makes aligning the load
and jib easier. Multiple RPM speeds possible depending upon
parameter selected.
15 LVF 10 Optima: 15 HP variable frequency hoist with 1t
(1.1 USt) line pull. 3 notch, progressive speed change according to
the accelerating or decelerating ramps. Optima allows the hoist to
adapt its speed to the weight of the load.
3 DVF 5: 3 HP variable frequency hoist with 500 kg (1102 lb)
line pull. 2 notch winch, progressive speed change according to
acceleration or deceleration ramps controlled by the frequency
converter.
Four (4) cylinders and two (2) pumps linked to solenoid valves.
Two (2) cylinders for unfolding the jib, one (1) for slewing the
derrick, and one (1) for raising the mast.
* STANDARD NORTH AMERICAN SPECIFICATION:
includes hydraulic ballasting derrick, high sole plates, Dialog
Wind, 12 concrete counterweight slabs, pre-equipment for
interference system and Top Zone.

Axle sets are available for both jobsite and highway applications.
Jobsite axles are rated at either 10 kph (6 mph) or 25 kph
(15.5 mph); highway axle set is rated at 80 kph (50 mph).
*Optional transport axle sets
