Said to combine
proven technologies
with fundamentally
new approaches to
handling machine
engineering, TGW
has developed a new
version of the
Mustang singlemast
stacker crane.
The Mustang Evolution uses aircraft construction concepts, reducing its overall weight by about 25%.Much of this comes from the new construction design of the mast, where specially rolled profiles, consistently adapted material thickness and highstrength bolted connections make the new mast three times stiffer yet lighter than with the earlier Mustang machines. The chassis, chassis frame, and lifting unit were reinforced and re-engineered using this weightoptimised design.
