Demag AC 55 All Terrain Crane Operator Manual

The AC 55 is a multi-axle all terrain crane. It drives to site on public roads, then sets up and lifts with its telescopic boom. The operator manual is the book that belongs with it, and it's what you reach for when a new or relief operator is taking over the crane and needs the controls, setup sequence and daily routine laid out.

What this manual helps you do

• Learn the controls and instruments, including what the warning lights are telling you.
• Follow the setup sequence for setting up on outriggers before the first lift.
• Read the load charts and load moment limiter correctly when planning a pick.
• Plan counterweight and rigging for the job in front of you.
• Check, lubricate and care for the crane through the daily routine the operator carries out.

Who this is for

Crane operators and operator trainers get the most from it. An operator uses it to confirm the setup order and controls on an AC 55. A trainer uses it as the reference for walking a new person through the machine, from preparing for travel to hoisting and slewing.
