]Improve Safety with Crane Collision Avoidance Systems Limiting the risk of collisions means increased operator safety, lower maintenance costs, and improved productivity and uptime. CRANE 1 partners with Columbus McKinnon and Magnetek to provide our clients with “state-of-the-art” collision avoidance systems. These systems are available in multiple configurations and allow our technical experts to help you specify the exact functionality, size, and style to fit your specific application needs. These systems are ideal for all types of cranes equipped with variable frequency drives, soft starters, or contactor controls.
Magnetek offers three collision avoidance systems with increasing levels of sophistication. Reflex 45 Magnetek’s new ReFlx 45 enhances the performance of overhead material handling systems by preventing crane-to-crane or crane-to-end-stop collisions. Avoiding collisions results in reduced maintenance costs and increased operator safety. This system is ideal for use with all types of cranes with adjustable frequency drives, soft starters, or contactor controls. Features The ReFlx 45 is a cost-effective system, ideal for a single stop action. All electronic components are built into one compact housing, enabling easy installation on overhead material handling applications. Don’t let the compact size fool you; the ReFlx 45 packs power and functionality into a light and inexpensive unit. Quick & Easy Setup
