3.45t Counterweight for Demag AC80-1

The 3.45t counterweight, part number 587 505 40, serves as a fundamental component for maintaining the equilibrium of the Demag AC80-1 all-terrain crane. It is positioned to counteract the combined weight of the boom and the suspended load, ensuring the machine remains stable throughout its operational range. By providing this specific mass, the counterweight prevents tipping and allows the crane to handle loads within its rated capacity.

This component is engineered specifically for the Demag AC80-1 to ensure precise weight distribution. It is essential that the counterweight remains free of damage or unauthorized modifications, as any change in mass or geometry can directly impact the stability and safety parameters of the crane.

Counterweights are used in mobile cranes to shift the center of gravity away from the load, which increases the tipping moment capacity of the machine. Proper installation and adherence to the manufacturer's configuration requirements are necessary for the safe operation of any heavy lifting equipment.
