Liftech first unveiled the Balance Crane concept in 2019 and, in collaboration with ZPMC, has since completed a detailed design of the prototype. In this article, World Cargo News reports on their analysis, which shows reduced wheel and tie-down loads while keeping the crane's total weight about the same as existing designs. The load reductions are particularly valuable for terminals in high-wind zones.
