The lower counterweight is a structural component that mounts to the rear of the crane superstructure. It serves to balance the weight of the boom and the suspended load, preventing the machine from tipping forward during operation. This specific unit has a mass of 1.2 tons and is identified by part number 587 507 40.
This component is compatible with the Demag AC80-1 crane. It is engineered to meet the specific weight distribution requirements and design parameters of this model. Proper installation of the correct counterweight mass ensures the crane functions within its rated load capacity limits.
Counterweights are used in mobile cranes to provide a counter-moment against the load being lifted. By positioning this mass at the rear of the machinery, the center of gravity is shifted, which stabilizes the crane and allows for safe operation throughout the working radius. Maintaining the correct counterweight configuration is necessary for the structural integrity of the crane during heavy lifting tasks.
