  • Page 14: Brief Description Of The I4507 System

    55M4507OBE00-B Brief Description of the i4507 System The i4507 “Rated Capacity Indicator” is a computerized crane monitoring system designed to help the operator to safely operate the crane and to respect the maximum load authorized by the crane manufacturer. The indicator automatically monitors the load lifted by the crane and constantly compares it with the maximum load allowed for each position.
