new electric travel drive FAT 325, and a fully
integrated energy storage system for mobile and
stationary applications based on double layer
capacitors. A system exhibit comprising a roller
bearing slewing ring and swivelling drive is also
presented by way of a sample application in the
mining area.
The LTR1100 combines the advantages of a
telescopic crane with those of a crawler crane.
