LMI system: unparalleled lifting safety
The safety of the operator and of the people working near the machine must be the prerogative of any lifting company. Magni knows this very well and therefore has equipped its machines with a sophisticated system allowing to work in complete safety. Let’s find it out!
Installed on our machines, this technological jewel allows to avoid accidents at work. We are talking about the LMI (Load Moment Indicator) system which is a load limit device. It is fitted as standard on all Magni telescopic handlers (RTH, TH and HTH ranges). This device consists of four elements: the rotation sensor, the stabiliser cable reel, the lifting cylinder pressure sensors and the LMI safety control board. These components work together to provide the operator with the best real time load chart. This system continuously analyses the spatial positioning of the load and stores specific load charts for each attachment, displaying the correct load chart based on the machine’s working configuration.
The LMI system constantly monitors the movements of the machine to avoid any type of overload. If the system detects operating inconsistencies, it interrupts all aggravating movements, allowing only safe manoeuvres (boom retraction and load release). This prevents an operator error from causing serious injury to themselves and nearby staff.
Moreover, every telehandler is equipped with the R.F.ID automatic attachment recognition system on the boom head. Whenever a new attachment is fitted to the machine it is recognised automatically and the display shows the corresponding load chart.
Fixed telehandlers are generally less likely to lift suspended loads than rotating telehandlers. However, Magni installs the LMI system on all models of its fixed range. Moreover, the same applies to the use of the man platform.
