(CONT)

a. Material Handling Crane (MHC). The M1089 MHC has a lifting capacity of 11,000 lbs (4,994 kgs). The MHC

contains an overload shutdown system which monitors boom angle, boom extension, and load weight. If the overload

shutdown system senses an overload condition, certain crane functions become locked out. The vehicle is stabilized

during crane operation by jack cylinders (4) attached to outrigger beams. Outrigger pads (5) are provided and are

attached to the bottom of the jack cylinders by quick release pins. All crane functions are hydraulically controlled by

levers at the control station (6). All exposed hydraulic cylinder rods are hard chrome plated to resist corrosion and wear.
