Hirschmann Maestro LMI

Some PAT Systems

Hirschmann DS 160

The DS-160 is an economical upgrade solution for Manitex cranes with existing DS-50 load moment indicators. The DS-160 provides crane owners with a combination of the latest technology while incorporating many of the existing proven sensors and components. All set up is done through the user-friendly operator’s console, with no costly and time consuming re-calibration.

Hirschmann EI 65

The EI 65 indicator system was developed in response to the needs of the crane owner to improve the efficiency and productivity of their operations. The system displays all geometric and load data along with the hoist selection and parts of line. With this information and the crane’s load chart the operator has the information needed to work within the crane’s working limits.

Hirschmann Maestro

The Hirschmann maestro is an economical upgrade solution for many of the existing PAT load moment indicators that are currently in the field and in need of parts or repair. The Hirschmann maestro provides crane owners with a combination of the latest technology while incorporating many of the existing proven sensors and components. All set up is done through the user-friendly operator’s console, with no costly and time consuming re-calibration.

Hirschmann Mark 4K

The Mark 4K displays a full range of precise information in the operator’s cab. Designed for use on mobile cranes, the Mark 4K is installed and calibrated to the load chart of each crane – including specific load and geometric limits on boom length, angle, and operating radius, Due to its various display options, the Mark 4K meets the requirements of even the most demanding cranes with many configurations. The Mark 4K load moment indicator gives the operator the information necessary to fully utilize the crane’s capacity while keeping within the working limits of the crane.

Hirschmann PRS 40 EZ

The PRS 40 EZ’s flexible design allows for monitoring single or multiple sensor inputs in wireless and hardwired applications. The system can monitor up to two wireless and one hardwired sensor at the same time, giving the operator the versatility to combine wireless and hardwired sensors. In the wireless applications the PRS 40 EZ utilizes Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum Technology (FHSS) which transmits on one of 25 different channels to ensure accurate and consistent reception of data. FHSS also provides additional protection against interference common to construction job sites.

Hirschmann PRS 80 EZ

The PRS 80 EZ’s flexible design allows for monitoring single or multiple sensor inputs. The sensor inputs are displayed on a large back-lite graphic display which is capable of displaying up to seven sensors at one time. The PRS 80 EZ utilizes Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum Technology (FHSS) which transmits on one of the 25 different channels to ensure accurate and consistent reception of data. FHSS also provides additional protection against interference common to construction job sites.

Hirschmann PRS 145

The PRS 145 displays a full range of precise information in the operator’s cab. Designed for use on mobile cranes, the PRS 145 is installed and calibrated to the load chart of each crane – including specific load and geometric limits on boom length, angle, and operating radius. The PRS 145 load moment indicator gives the operator the information necessary to fully utilize the cranes capacity while keeping within the working limits of the crane.

Hirschmann Wireless Sensors

All Hirschmann wireless sensors utilize the same transmitter, allowing for easier maintenance and operation on the jobsite. Hirschmann wireless sensors are fully compatible with existing PAT or Hirschmann sensors and fit a variety of cranes
