What makes HMF cranes suited for rescue work?

The short answer: EVS Stability System

In demanding terrain or uneven surfaces – when for example towing parked cars – the cranes’ stability system ensures optimization of the working area without the resulting limitation from deploying the stabilizer beams. EVS allows the crane to work in the entire working area, i.e. 420°.

Remote Control and HMF InfoCenter

All crane functions are carried out by means of the radio remote control system installed on the rescue vehicles. For extra safety, the remote control box is equipped with an HMF InfoCenter display, which in collaboration with the RCL Safety System informs and warns the crane operator in case of stability issues. This solution allows the operator to operate the crane from a long distance (remote control range is over 100 m).
