Design of safety protection device

Limit protection device

Limit protection device is a key component to prevent the crane from exceeding the set range during operation. In order to ensure the safety of the crane, we have designed reliable limit switches and travel limiters. The limit switch automatically cuts off the power supply and sends an alarm signal when the crane runs to the limit position through mechanical or electrical means to prevent the crane from continuing to run. The travel limiter measures the running distance of the crane and triggers the limit switch for protection when it reaches the preset limit position.

The overload protection device is a key component to prevent the crane from overloading during the lifting process. In order to ensure the stability and safety of the crane, we have selected high-precision sensors and controllers. These devices can monitor the lifting weight of the crane in real time and compare the data with the preset set value through the controller. When the lifting weight exceeds the set value, the controller will send an overload alarm signal and automatically cut off the power supply to stop the lifting action.

Anti-unhooking protection device

The anti-unhooking protection device is a key component to prevent the crane from unhooking during the lifting process. In order to ensure that the hook is always in a safe and reliable state during the lifting process, we have designed a reliable hook lock mechanism and an anti-unhooking device. These devices can automatically lock the hook and send out an alarm signal when the hook lock mechanism fails or is improperly operated, ensuring the safety and reliability of the crane.

Emergency stop device

The emergency stop device is a key component to ensure that the crane can stop running quickly in an emergency. In order to ensure the life safety of the operator and the integrity of the equipment, we have designed an easy-to-operate emergency stop button and a reliable braking system. When the operator encounters an emergency, he can quickly press the emergency stop button and cut off the power supply to stop the crane immediately. In addition, we have also adopted advanced braking technology to ensure that the crane can stop quickly and safely in an emergency.
