Load Capacity Charts

These charts visualize the load capacity of the Pecco SK 180 tower crane at different jib radii. The diagrams show how the maximum load capacity decreases as the jib radius increases, helping operators determine safe operating limits for specific configurations.

2-Part Line Configuration

Note: This chart represents the 196 ft jib length with 2-Part Line configuration. It shows the relationship between jib radius (from 80 ft to 196 ft) and maximum lifting capacity, demonstrating how capacity decreases as the hook moves further from the mast. The 2-Part line configuration offers faster hoisting speeds with less capacity.

4-Part Line Configuration

Note: This chart represents the 196 ft jib length with 4-Part Line configuration. The 4-Part line configuration provides higher lifting capacity (up to 27,600 lbs) at the expense of hoisting speed. Notice the capacity reduction as radius increases, starting from a higher capacity at shorter radii compared to the 2-Part line.

Specifications

Operational Notes

Load Capacity: The lifting capacity decreases as the hook radius increases, as shown in the load charts above.
Line Configuration: The 4-part line configuration provides higher lifting capacity at the expense of hoisting speed, while the 2-part line configuration offers faster hoisting speeds with reduced capacity.
Safety Considerations: Always refer to the manufacturer's operation manual for complete safety guidelines and operational procedures.
Wind Limits: The crane should not be operated in wind speeds exceeding 45 mph (72 km/h). When wind speeds exceed 63 mph (101 km/h), the crane must be in weather vane mode.

Hoist Speed and Capacity

Gear	2-Part Line		4-Part Line
Gear	Capacity	Speed	Capacity	Speed
1	Up to 13,800 lbs (6,250 kg)	112 fpm (34 m/min)	Up to 27,600 lbs (12,500 kg)	56 fpm (17 m/min)
2	Up to 13,800 lbs (6,250 kg)	178 fpm (54 m/min)	Up to 27,600 lbs (12,500 kg)	89 fpm (27 m/min)
3	Up to 9,260 lbs (4,200 kg)	282 fpm (86 m/min)	Up to 18,520 lbs (8,400 kg)	141 fpm (43 m/min)
