The J480PA luffing tower crane from Jaso is designed to meet the diverse needs of modern construction projects. This model offers a range of features that ensure optimal efficiency, safety and versatility to handle the most demanding jobsites. 

With a compact footprint of 2.16 m, the J480PA is ideal for jobsites with limited space. The boom can be configured in 5-m increments, allowing for customisation based on project requirements. An optional secondary brake on the hoist enhances safety during operations.

The crane has multiple load chart options to accommodate different lifting needs: 

• 12-t line (direct pull) – suitable for straightforward lifting tasks.

• 12-t line pull (two-part line) – provides a capacity of 24 t.  

• Three-part line (3R) – offers a maximum capacity of 36 t.

• DP/2R configurations – capable of handling 9 t, 18 t, or 10 t, 20 t, and 30 t in DP, 2R, and 3R configurations respectively.

The J480PA boasts a luffing speed of 1.5 minutes, increasing productivity on site. The Lebus drums allow for a maximum hook course of 874 m, resulting in efficient and smooth operations. The crane’s swing radius is 6.9 m with steel counterweights, and 7.8 m with steel-framed or concrete counterweights. 

Equipped with IP55 motors, the J480PA operates at high speeds while maintaining durability and reliability. The slack rope safety device prevents accidents by ensuring the rope remains taut during operations.

There are several climbing options to suit various construction needs: external JC, floor climbing, and internal lift shaft climbing. For high flexibility on the jobsite, the cabin can be positioned on either side of the tower. An optional luxury cabin (Horizon), launched recently at bauma, is also available.

Optimised for transport, the J480PA comes with a reduced number of transport units. The maximum component weight is reduced to 7.5 t, facilitating easier handling and assembly. A 39.5-m freestanding crane can be transported in just eight HC40 containers. 

In addition, the J480PA is equipped with Jaso’s Optimus Line package, featuring the latest technologies for excellent safety and control:

• Safety devices and load sensors – for comprehensive safety and control.

• Crane default diagnosis – for identifying and addressing crane issues.

• Pre-installed anti-collision system – to prevent accidents between tower cranes.

• Remote crane management – for remote monitoring and management of crane operations.

• In-cabin calibration and programming – for in-cabin calibration, setting, and load programming.

• Eco Mode – an energy-saving system that minimises power consumption.

• Secondary clamp brake option – to enhance safety with an optional secondary brake.
