Lift-IQ™ Advanced Lifting Chart Now Available on the NRC CSR65

NRC Industries unveiled its Lift-IQ™ lifting chart on an NRC CSR85 during the 2024 AT Expo. Lift-IQ™ is now available on the CSR65.

This cutting-edge technology brings the towing and recovery industry into a new digital era — where every lifting calculation is performed automatically, in real time, from the operator’s screen.

Traditionally, operators relied on printed lifting charts and manual calculations — a process often involving a margin of approximation. Using advanced sensors and algorithms, Lift-IQ™ instantly determines lifting capacity based on multiple factors: boom angle and extension, load and vehicle weight, boom position on the truck (Slider® System), and outrigger stance. Any time the operator moves the boom or the load, the system recalculates capacity in real time, displaying precise, live data.

“This type of technology already exists in the crane industry,” explains Sébastien Daigneault, Technical Sales Specialist at NRC Industries. “But cranes are stationary. A wrecker, on the other hand, is mobile — and the Slider® System changes the center of gravity. All these variables must be taken into account to work safely and efficiently.”

The result is an interactive and dynamic lifting chart that evolves with each movement. Operators can visualize lifting parameters from a top and side views, helping them anticipate scenarios before acting.
