FAO FAR 71 - The frame section is 160x160x8 mm in option with a reinforced frame 160x160x10. The swingarm bracket, where the transverse beam from the closed profile has been replaced with bent fittings with a converging cross-section. The increased cross-section of the frame and the new swingarm bracket have resulted in even better structural rigidity and increased overload resistance.
FAO FAR 2554. A flanged crane designed for mounting on chassis with a load capacity of 6-8 tons, the maximum reach is 5.4 m and the lifting moment is 25 kNm. The machine is partly based on proven components of the 2250 model, but most of the elements have been redesigned. The overall construction is typical for Fao Far cranes. Four-cylinder column rotation in an oil bath. Arms equipped with a wide-angle joint, outer arm with telescopic extension. The 0.16 gripper hung under the FR7 rotator. Hydraulic hoses are routed over shoulders with galvanized steel pipes, and all rubber hoses are secured with special plastic spiral bands. Compared to model 2250, the new crane has a 30 cm larger range and clearly greater lifting capacity. The main arm has a larger section and side plates of joints with pads with a characteristic arched shape. The new design better dissipates the stresses arising at the crane's boundary loads.
Additional standard equipment for this model is a vibration damper (hydraulic accumulator with a set of valves) connected to the main lifting cylinder. Thanks to this, the majority of vibrations harmful to the machine are eliminated, which translates into a significant reduction in the risk of cracks in the structure of the machine and extension of the period between repairs. For maximum performance, the machine is equipped with a number of additional hydraulic accessories that allow for fast and smooth operation. Three types of control are available: mechanical 4 + 2, electromechanical HE and hydraulic joystick HR. The FF 71 is the smallest model in which hydraulic wheel drive is available.
