Introducing the ALIMAK SCANDO 450

Skellefteå, 16 March, 2006: The new ALIMAK SCANDO 450 is a total upgrade of the ALIMAK CH construction hoist range first launched in 1998. Over 600 units of the CH range have been delivered and the modernisation program encompassing new technology further strengthens the light and medium ranges of construction hoists. ALIMAK SCANDO 450 offers improved comfort with greater productivity and accessibility. Fuse ratings from 35A for a 1,100kg capacity car gives low energy consumption. The economical choice for fleet-owners and renters!

“This upgrade has many advantages that our customers will benefit from. Components, accessories and spare parts can now be coordinated between the ranges,” says Mats Hedlund, sales and marketing manager, Alimak AB.

SCANDO 450 offers greater efficiency and improved durability, with lower energy consumption and reduced cost of ownership. Accessibility is improved by the use of the new microprocessor based control system, ALC II, which can solve many site logistic problems. For example, the system reduces waiting times by storing all calls from the landings and sending the hoist that is logistically nearest to a landing to pick up passengers.

SCANDO 450 also gets a new frequency control unit (FC), with closed-loop, which gives very smooth starting and stopping with low starting current and less wear and tear.

The hoist has already been on display in Australia, at the National Construction Exhibition in Sydney, where visitors got a first preview.
