VLC™ Keeps Cranes Moving,
Profits Booming

Greater Control

The VLC™ system, similar to European-style programmable logic controls (PLC), puts more power in the hands of the crane operator with multiple sensors and user feedback functions. Venturo is revolutionizing crane operations through notable product features like vehicle stability and grade indications, overload protection, wireless or controller area network (CAN) communication, safety alerts and display messages.

Enhanced Productivity

A radio-remote, pistol-grip controller comes standard with VLC™ for Venturo hydraulic service cranes. This means more comfort, less fatigue and better performance during demanding jobs. 60 hours of battery life, a display complete with text alerts and easy-to-reach toggle switches and push buttons make the VLC™ controller one hell of an asset for productivity.

Improved Safety

Overload and instability can compromise a job site, and VLC™ gives operators real-time data and an eagle eye over conditions that could result in damage or injuries to both loads and people. On top of greater peace of mind, the overload protection feature makes for a lighter-weight crane, which increases payload capacity on your service truck.

Clear Alerts

Visible safety and capacity alerts warn operators immediately when a malfunction or overload is looming. Four distinct alerts help you stay in-tune with your crane:

• LCD Display Screen Text
• Transmitter Handle Vibrations
• A Green/Yellow/Red Alert Light on the Underside of the Boom
• Corresponding Lights on the Radio Receiver

REAL-TIME UPDATES

An LCD display on the VLC™ controller puts real-time load and status updates front and center. You can see the percentage of load, boom angle in degrees and percentage of total capacity right at your fingertips during crane operation. These messages also warn the operator of any conditions that could bring load movements to a halt.

STABILITY

Vehicle stability and grade control round out this versatile system. By keeping tabs on a service truck’s position, these features guide operators through the most efficient load movements. Avoiding overextension and overexertion is key to keeping cranes in working shape and getting materials where they need to be.
