FANTEK will be highlighting the importance of safety at PLASA 2024 (booth C17) by showing two new lifting towers that incorporate LoadSense, the company’s innovative new weight sensor.

Designed to keep users informed about the amount of load they are handling on their towers, LoadSense promises to significantly reduce instances of overload, which is a common problem in the industry. It also ensures that all FANTEK towers equipped with LoadSense will meet the requirements of the EN17206-2 standard, which establishes the need for an overload warning system in lifting towers.

Developed and patented by FANTEK’s engineering team, LoadSense is a completely mechanical system that does not require electronic components. This unique feature ensures that LoadSense is available for use 100% of the time, eliminating any potential electronic failure that could compromise safety.

At PLASA 2024, FANTEK is showing the FT5023LS Front Loading tower and the TK6422LS Top Loading tower, both of which will be making their UK debut.

With a maximum height of 4.98 meters, the FT5023LS can lift 235 Kg in its mechanism mode and 455 Kg in its structural mode. The LoadSense system not only allows this tower to be compliant with EN-17206 but also, thanks to its Dynamic Overlap system, it ensures that forces are correctly distributed over the profiles, thus increasing their resistance and reducing deflection.

The FANTEK TK6422LS is a telescopic lifting tower that is designed to lift vertical loads up to 225 kg to a maximum height of 6.4 meters. It is made up of five extendable steel profiles raised by a high-resistance steel cable. The tower section is secured at working height with an automatic steel safety pin, which the legs are fitted with non-slip rubber pads. The entire system is controlled by a manually operated winch with double crank.

Already renowned as a leader in the lifting tower industry, FANTEK is dedicated to offering its customers cutting-edge solutions that offer the best in terms of design and manufacturing. By incorporating LoadSense into lifting towers such as the FT5023LS and TK6422LS, FANTEK is also ensuring that its products deliver the ultimate in user safety.
