ABUS Type Z Twin Barrel Crab Unit: Built for Demanding Loads

Pacific Cranes’ ABUS Type Z twin barrel crab unit is the standard wire rope hoist for heavy-duty applications in PNG’s industrial landscapes, such as mining operations or large-scale manufacturing in Port Moresby and beyond. Supporting Safe Working Loads from 8 to 120 tonnes, its articulated end carriage joints maintain positive contact of all four wheels with the track for superior stability. The hoist trolley’s two direct-drive cross travel motors—epicyclic or flat geared based on wheel diameter—deliver quiet, powerful performance. Optional maintenance platforms, including walkable versions, simplify servicing, while a stooled-down ZA variant offers ultra-low headroom for restricted clearances, adapting perfectly to building contours.

The ABUS Type Z crab unit thrives in PNG’s rigorous conditions:

  • Heavy-Load Power: Handles up to 120 tonnes with twin barrel efficiency.

  • Stable Operation: Articulated joints prevent derailment on uneven tracks.
