The Mounty is a remote controlled cable winch unit, which is mounted on a carrier truck.
The Mounty has a compact design and ensures a clean and tidy workplace at all times. It has a large mast height due to the rear mounting for more ground clearance in the rope route. This allows long tensions without rope saddle under favourable conditions. It has an increased working area with good visibility due to the special arrangement of the crane unit and mast. It has an ergonomic, safe and comfortable crane cab with hydraulic cab door for fast cycles during unloading. It features short set-up times for cable car installation thanks to innovative designs.
It has been designed with numerous configuration options such as a long rope version, mounting q cable winch, additional guy rope winches, as well as customer-specific wishes to make the Mounty so incredibly versatile.
All models of the Mounty are also available in a 3-rope version, which allows downhill and horizontal installation. Due to the special arrangement of the crane unit and mast, the machine operator is always protected in the crane cab.
Different drive concepts and performance classes of the truck carrier vehicle are coupled with the machine control of the Mounty, making the machine fuel efficient. The engine data of the truck is displayed on the tablet PC in the crane cab or on the handheld radio.
For a fast and safe installation, the following elements are controlled using remote control:
- Supports
- Landing ramps
- Tilt device
- Guy line winches
- Skyline winch
- Skyline guidance/winding
- Cabin adjustment
- Truck start/stop
- Carriage start/stop
- Winch in the carriage
The Mounty MT50-2 has a pulling force of 47 kN and tower height of 14,2 m (46.6 ft). The MT50-2, a cable crane system mounted on a 4-axle truck, was specially developed for long cable lines and strong timber on steep slopes. The high pulling power of the machine allows for larger payloads, which keeps productivity constant even with long rope lines. Source
