The counterweight assembly, identified by part number 587 701 40, is a component used on the Demag AC80-1 all-terrain crane. It is mounted on the rear of the crane's superstructure to manage the overturning moment created by the boom and the suspended load. By positioning this mass correctly, the crane maintains its center of gravity within the designated support base, which is necessary for operational stability during heavy lifting tasks.
This specific component is engineered for the Demag AC80-1 model to ensure the machine functions according to the manufacturer's load charts and stability requirements. Proper installation and secure attachment of the counterweight are required to maintain the crane's rated lifting capacity and overall balance. The component is designed to withstand the operational forces and stresses encountered during standard crane usage.
Counterweights are used in mobile cranes to counteract the leverage effect of the load. By adding mass to the opposite side of the pivot point, the system prevents the crane from tipping forward. The total weight and configuration of these components are calculated to match the specific structural design and hydraulic capabilities of the crane model, ensuring that the machine operates within its safe working limits.
