Iowa Mold Tooling Co., Inc. (IMT), an Oshkosh Corporation company and leading manufacturer of service vehicles, truck-mounted cranes, hydraulic loaders and air compressors, is displaying a battery powered hydraulic telescopic crane and compressor package as well as IMT CMD.CTRL system at Work Truck Week 2022, North America’s largest work truck event. The show is taking place at the Indiana Convention Center in Indianapolis, Ind. March 8 - 11. IMT will be at booth 3139.
The first-to-industry battery powered hydraulic telescopic crane and compressor package is powered by a Vanair EPEQ power system and ELiMENT battery, and will enable users to power their hydraulic crane even when their vehicle is off. The crane and compressor package operates like a traditional PTO and pump setup, meaning there is no need for a full re-engineering of the hydraulic equipment to utilize the benefits of electrification.
“IMT is proud to offer industry-leading products that are designed and engineered to meet the needs we are hearing directly from our customers,” said Tom Wallace, Sales Manager at IMT. “The electrification of our hydraulic crane and compressor system is no exception. Our customers are facing stricter emissions standards and tighter margins — electrification solutions help them use less fuel and minimize vehicle wear and tear, ultimately helping their bottom line.”
Also on display is the IMT CMD.CTRL System, the company's latest patent-pending controls system. Standard with the Dominator mechanics trucks, it combines durable, reliable hardware with flexible, intuitive software to give operators a productive, user-friendly experience. Core components of the system include convenient cab controls, service body compartment controls and a wireless remote control system.
- An advanced Load Moment Indicator (LMI) that provides the operator real-time load and safety information.
- Wireless remote control to allow users to operate all functions remotely, including the crane, stabilizers, lights, compressor and auxiliary equipment.
- The ability to customize multiple operations, including flood lights, compartment lights, etc.
- An IP67-rated crane compartment display and remote control modules ensure protection from the elements.
- Improved, remote and easy to understand diagnostics to help with troubleshooting.
“The latest control system from IMT is taking the industry standard to a new level by enabling all components in our Dominator trucks to be operated remotely from the same system,” said Wallace. “The system provides a one-stop-shop for operators and provides the safety, productivity and reliability they deserve.”
