Lift your payload
In this scenario 1,125 kg of Strenx® 700 high strength steel replaces 1,500 kg of 500 MPa steel in a loader crane. In addition 1,275 kg of 500 MPa steel replaces 1,500 kg of355 MPa steel in the truck chassis. This means a weight reduction, for the upgraded parts, of 25% in the crane and 15% in the truck. In total a weight reduction of 600 kg is achieved, which increased the load capacity, resulting in higher fuel efficiency and transport efficiency.

Hooked on savings
Working on the crane design and moving the longitudinal welds to the neutral layer of the crane arm extension, the yield strength could be increased from 800 MPa to Strenx® 1100. Together with a redesign of the stabilizer beam, this saved 114 kg of weight, or around 15% of the upgraded parts. This, in turn, increases the load capacity of the truck, reducing fuel consumption per ton transported.
