Why choosing a Cattaneo crane.

Our main qualities are the "CE" labelling and the "ISO 9001" quality system certification.

It is now widely acknowledged that observing the essential safety requisites detailed in the EC directive 98/37/CE, the minimum requirement for equipment sold in Europe, no longer satisfies discerning customers in terms of reliability, technical assistance and durability (namely QUALITY).

In 1996, Luigi Cattaneo S.p.A. was one of the first manufacturers in the field to lead the way and qualify for ISO 9001 CERTIFICATION for its QUALITY CONTROL SYSTEM.

All cranes leaving our site are designed and built to be reliable, have a long life time and guarantee customers, wherever they are located, immediate availability of spare parts and skilled labour for all service requirements.
     

Easy access and inspection of all mechanisms and motors.
Motors, limit switches, load limiting devices, complete electrical installation, pressure gauge and the hydraulic control station are all located at the base of the crane for effortless servicing and adjustments from ground level.

Trolley travel mechanism and limit switch with automatic cable recovery during assembly.
No electrical components are fitted on the jib or elevated parts of the crane.
Lifting winch, hydraulic control station and rotating mechanisms are protected by whole-body housing. Fully housed slewing ring with shielded, internal toothing.Fully integrated stabilisers with galvanised screws that are protected by the legs in the fixed base.

  
     
Transportable on an articulated lorry with the crane on tow in compliance with maximum dimensions.
All models in our range can be transported complete with wheels and axles on articulated lorries with the crane on tow in full compliance with the maximum dimensions permitted by the Highway Code.

  
     

Robust, non-ageing crane structure.
All Cattaneo cranes feature jibs with a tie-rod construction. For cranes with an extended reach, a twin tie-rod mechanism has been devised for improved safety, without additional weight. Jibs and tie-rods on all models are hot galvanised as standard and the base and tower are given two coats of paint by dip coating. The tower may also be hot galvanised if preferred by the customer.
 

Modular jibs.
Simple adjustments ensure different jib configurations and capacities can be obtained for each individual model so that the crane can be used in restricted areas or in proximity to obstacles.
 

Superior performance levels of single/three-phase cranes.
It is universally acknowledged that Cattaneo single/three-phase D.C. cranes have an edge over rival products on account of the high level of power generated even with single-phase power and their excellent reliability.All single/three-phase cranes feature three lifting speeds, low consumption and performance levels that are comparable to those of three-phase cranes. Lifting is guaranteed with a maximum load using sockets of at least 1.5 kW and single-phase voltage of at least 170 V.
