Can you explain more about the 248 HSL’s RCL system?

How does the 248 HSL handle counterweight assembly and disassembly?GRIFFIN FLETCHER2026-06-24T09:27:06-05:00

How does the 248 HSL handle counterweight assembly and disassembly?

The 248 HSL’s modular upper counterweight removal system lowers the counterweights to the ground from a remote control station, with hydraulic cylinders detaching in one piece with the base counterweight to reduce the weight of the main transport load. The upper counterweights consist of a 20,000-pound “A” counterweight and six 15,000-pound biscuit counterweights. Main counterweight release and engage pins simplify the assembly and disassembly process.
