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.
Hoist Upper Limit Controversy
Hoist Upper Limit Controversy There is a huge controversy within the hoist inspection community when discussing the ANSI requirement of a secondary limit switch on European style hoists sold with only a single upper limit switch that is operated based upon drum turns....
Crane Runway Inspections
CRANE RUNWAY INSPECTIONS Overhead crane runway systems receive constant loading as well as wear forces that create operational and safety issues over time. Therefore, the proper inspection of crane runways and their supporting systems is just as important as the...
Runway Fall Protection Systems
A crane runway rail’s narrow, dust-covered walking surface is often one of the highest maintenance areas found in any facility. Proper maintenance and inspections of crane and hoist system must include human access to the runway structure and rails. Many facilities have process machinery, storage rack or other equipment blocking ground access to the runway rails using personnel lifts.
Learn how inexpensive fall protection systems can help you better maintain your runways, increasing productivity and improve safety as well.
