    The M.O.L. (Manual Outriggers Lock) system is a new safety device developed by Fassi Gru to signal that the outrigger supports are locked correctly for transport and that the crane height does not exceed legal transport limits. It consists of proximity sensors to check if locking pins are fully engaged and an additional sensor to check the crane height. If all sensors are activated, a green light turns on in the truck cab, otherwise a red light signals that transport requirements are not met. The system provides certainty that the crane can be transported legally and safely on public roads.

    “M.O.L.” SYSTEM
    (Manual Outriggers Lock)
    The “M.O.L.” system (Manual Outriggers Lock), designed and developed by Fassi Gru’s Design,
    Research & Development department to conform to the safety criteria defined by the European
    Standard EN12999, is a new safety device that signals to the operator if the pins blocking the possible
    side extension of the outrigger supports during the vehicle travel are correctly engaged and, provided
    the relevant system is also fitted, if the crane height in transport position overcomes its outline.

    M.O.L. system operation

    The terminal of the system consists in a small optional panel


    equipped with 2 lights, one green and one red, to be installed
    onto the dashboard inside the truck cab (it’s therefore provided
    with double-sided tape). If all the pins blocking the outrigger
    supports in the rest folded position are correctly engaged and the
    crane doesn’t overcome the legal transport height, the green
    lights will switch on and, on the contrary, the red one will.

    The check of the correct positioning of the pins


    is carried out by proximity sensors inside the
    pin seat: the pin is so outlined that when it’s
    closed in the block position of the outrigger
    supports, it activates the proximity sensor.
    The sensors are linked in series, so the switch
    on of the green light takes place only when
    they are all activated. Depending on the
    working configuration 1 or 2 derivation boxes
    are used.

    Functioning of the system checking the crane
    height in the transport position

    In presence of the device checking the crane


    height in the transport condition, the system is
    also equipped with a proximity sensor fixed on
    the column and with an adjustable support fitted
    on the inner boom to be set at the required
    height.
    Also this sensor is linked in series to the previous
    ones and has to be active (presence of the half-
    moon support above the sensor) to enable the
    switch on of the green light.

    Layout of the M.O.L. system and of the


    system for the height check in the transport
    position:

    Advantages for the user:

    • Certainty to drive without any problems related to lateral and vertical overcoming of the
    crane folded outline in regard to the dimensions foreseen by the highway code, thanks to
    the information provided by the green light signal on the small panel placed in the cab.

    • Red light signal on the panel in the cab to advise of any possible protrusion exceeding the
    crane folded outline.
