Fantuzzi Reggiane MHC 200: which load tables apply with hook, spreader or grab?
The anti-tilting system selects the grab or hook tables automatically and lets the operator set the hook or spreader table at 66% or 75% where available, according to the 2006 MHC 200 manual, the HIT SRL technical desk notes. HIT SRL service technicians report that these values apply on MHC 200 cranes in service, with the grab table at 50%.

Fantuzzi Reggiane MHC 115 BDE: which grab does the crane work?
A mechanical rope grab worked by two winches, with the inner ropes opening and closing it and the outer ropes holding it, according to the 2008 MHC 115 BDE manual, as logged by the HIT SRL technical desk. The same manual equips the crane for four-rope operation, with four 32 mm ropes of 191 m on an 805 mm drum.

Fantuzzi Reggiane MHC 115 BDE: how are the two winches used with the grab?
One winch takes up or releases the closing ropes while the other holds the grab during opening and closing, according to the 2008 MHC 115 BDE manual, as recorded by the HIT SRL technical desk. The same manual moves both winches together when hoisting and allows opening or closing during hoisting only with an empty grab.

Fantuzzi Reggiane MHC 115 BDE: how is the mechanical grab fitted?
With the boom lowered to the ground, the cable reel cable secured on the boom and the motorised hook on a support at most 5 m from the carrier, according to the 2008 MHC 115 BDE manual, the HIT SRL technical desk notes. The manual joins the grab rings to the rope terminals, inner ropes for opening and closing and outer ropes for suspension, as set out in the HIT SRL technical cards. The grab works only with the dead-man button pressed, according to the same manual.

Fantuzzi Reggiane MHC 115: what wind triggers the alarm when travelling with grab, tongs or spreader?
50 km/h, against 72 km/h in work and travel with the hook, according to the 2002 control-system description of the MHC 115, as recorded at HIT SRL. Slewing, travel, boom lowering and hoisting are blocked after a settable delay above the alarm threshold, according to the same description.

Fantuzzi Reggiane MHC 115: does the crane travel with a load on the grab or other lifting equipment?
The MHC 115 load tables prohibit their capacities on wheels and include the grab weight in the grab capacity, according to the load table of the 75 t version, as HIT SRL's technical desk reads it. HIT SRL service technicians report that in practice MHC 115 cranes do not travel with a load, at most with the lifting equipment fitted.
