What is the engine speed when the remote throttle is set to the center position?

When the remote throttle is set to the center position, the engine speed typically corresponds to a standard operating range that balances power and efficiency for typical crane operations. In many crane systems, setting the remote throttle to the center position often aligns with around 1800 rpm. This speed provides adequate power for lifting and maneuvering without overworking the engine, ensuring longevity and reliability.

Higher engine speeds, such as 2400 rpm, may be unnecessary and could lead to faster wear on engine components, while lower speeds like 600 or 1200 rpm may not provide sufficient power for effective crane operations. Thus, 1800 rpm at the center throttle position represents a practical choice that maximizes performance while maintaining optimal engine health.
