Iowa Mold Tooling Co. and 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.  

IMT is offering a battery powered hydraulic telescopic crane and compressor package. Powered by a Vanair EPEQ power system and ELiMENT battery, users will be able 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.”

The company’s latest patent pending controls system comes standard with the IMT Dominator mechanics trucks. Core components of the new system include convenient cab controls, service body compartment controls and the wireless remote-control system. Operators will be fully equipped to handle crane and body operation remotely. The IMT CMD.CTRL system can operate a crane, stabilizers, lights, compressor and auxiliary equipment remotely from the wireless controller.

“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.”

Features:

  • An advanced load moment indicator  provides the operator real time load and safety information.
  • The crane, body and compressor wireless remote control allow operators to operate all functions remotely.
  • Operators can customize multiple operations, including flood lights and compartment lights.
  • An IP67-rated crane compartment display and remote-control modules ensure protection from the elements.
  • Improved, remote and easy-to-understand diagnostics help with troubleshooting.
