Linden Comansa has introduced the PowerLift system for its LC500, LC1100, LC1600, LC2100 and LC3000 tower cranes. The system has a finer control of the load, allowing for the crane's rated load at a farther reach. Cranes with the PowerLift system have a 10% greater reach when at the rated load, and the cranes have increased capacities at the jib end. The system works by more precisely controlling the speed of the trolley and hoist, reducing strain on the jib. Linden Comansa; www.comansa.com/eng/

The Magnalight LED10W-1S-PDB 10-watt LED Emitter has a 900-lumen output and can be operated with voltages ranging from 9 V to 48 V DC. The light is designed for use in trucks and heavy equipment on which an easily mounted light source can be used for maintenance and inspection. The LED's double-ball joint allows for 360� rotation and 140� of tilt. It comes with a 16-ft coil cord with a cigarette-plug adapter and a 21-ft cord with ring terminals.
