5.2. Set the stabiliser system
To ensure the maximum stability of the vehicle, all the stabiliser extensions and legs must be fully
extended and set to the ground without lifting the wheels from the ground.
• Cranes with Progress:
Progress is a system based on four stability areas
(Right, Left, Front, Rear) where the lifting capacity
and the width of the areas change in relation to how
much the stabiliser extensions are extended and the
installation.
When the stabiliser extensions are not fully extended,
the lifting capacity is optimised by the Progress feature
to ensure the maximum stability of the vehicle.
On a crane with Progress, the position of the crane stabiliser extensions is detected
proportionally by the Progress system to calculate the stability. But the position of the auxiliary
stabiliser extensions is not detected proportionally to calculate the stability, but only some preset
values are detected.
• Cranes with Progress and SENSE:
Progress and SENSE is a system that calculates the
stability in each point of the working area. It changes
the performance in relation to how much the stabiliser
extensions are extended and the installation.
When the stabiliser extensions are not fully extended,
the lifting capacity is optimised point by point by the
Progress and SENSE feature to ensure the maximum
stability of the vehicle.
On a crane with Progress and SENSE, the position of both, crane stabiliser extensions and
auxiliary stabiliser extensions, is detected proportionally by the feature SENSE to calculate the
stability.
WARNING
If your vehicle has a front and/or a rear auxiliary stabiliser system [option], with one
or two legs, make sure that all legs are correctly set to the ground before you start
operating the crane to get maximum performance.
