The complete mast, jib and cage assembly can be rotated to provide a maximum
outreach of 2.6m in the case of the MB20 N and 2.96m in the case of the MB26 machine.
This dimension is measured from the centreline of rotation and is carried out by means
of an integral hydraulic motor driving a Worm Drive Unit, around a Slew Gear.

An electronic controller, mounted in the chassis, is pre-programmed to adjust the upper
speed limit of each individual function. The controller limits the rotational speed of the
electronic motor and oil pump, thereby limiting the maximum oil flow rate.
The following functions are controlled and driven by the electro-hydraulic system:
•
Traction Drives (Fwd & Rev) mast stowed/mast raised.
•
Steering and Jib elevation.
•
Mast elevation, descent and rotation.
•
The Jib descent function is gravity operated and is determined by built in flow
regulators.

The Power System (Prime Mover) incorporates four 6V batteries driving a 4KW electro-
hydraulic pump. The pump drives all hydraulic cylinders and the traction drive motors. A
single multi-valve control block diverts the oil pressure to the individual actuators. The
oil flow rate is limited by the pre-programmed speed setting on the motor but is
determined by the position of the joystick in the Upper Control Box.
