SwingStop plus

SwingStop plus – independent oscillation damping for both halves of the boom

A new swing compensation system is used with Super-L3 booms in boom widths from 39 m which includes the new SwingStop plus boom tip swing compensation. This offers the well-known advantages of SwingStop but differs in that the movements of the two halves of the boom are hydraulically damped independently of each other in the direction of travel. This provides an even better basis for optimum longitudinal distribution of the application.

Reducing symmetrical and asymmetrical oscillations

SwingStop plus can compensate extremely effectively against symmetrical oscillations which occur through acceleration and braking. The new design of the swing compensation system now permits the individual control of either boom half. In SwingStop plus, each boom section is equipped with a hydraulic cylinder which actively counteracts any oscillations which occur in that boom half. This means that even asymmetrical boom oscillations which occur after negotiating bends are effectively reduced.
