Morris overcame the problem of mechanically latching together a pair of cranes from the floor level which our competitors had previously tried and been unsuccessful in the past. Each 5-500 series crane supplied had two hoists, capable of lifting 10 tonnes independently or 15 tonnes in tandem via Master/Slave data link, which was operational from both the radio control and standby pendant. The long travel speed was limited during tandem operation to allow concise operator control. The cranes were fitted with load weighing and overload protection device complete with LCD display for operator confidence.
