Crane Anti-Collision Systems

Crane Anti-Collision Systems

Reducing the potential for collisions between overhead cranes, monorail hoists as well as fixed objects and obstructions such as in-plant office structures has been a challenge for the overhead material handling industry for many years. Until recently it was only possible to minimize the resulting impact from collisions using mechanical means such as bumpers, barriers or limit switches. With current technology, it is now possible to economically prevent these collisions using more sophisticated means in a variety of operating environments.
