CRANE OVERLOAD PROTECTION

Crane Overload protection for cranes is a safety mechanism that prevents the crane from lifting loads that exceed its maximum capacity. This is achieved by using load sensors, limit switches, and control systems that constantly monitor the weight of the load and stop the crane from lifting if it exceeds the specified limit. Overload protection is crucial for preventing equipment damage, operator injury, and other safety hazards. Over loading of the crane is a common occurrence. To prevent the same, IPA has the Trip safe which would ensure that over loading of the crane/hoist is prevented. In this crane over load protection system, the trip safe module is used in conjunction with a suitable loadcell. The advantage of this system over the conventional system is the speed at which the module responds. Also, as this is the direct measurement of the load, the action taken for tripping is appropriate and quick. The Trip Safe will ensure that both overload and under load is prevented. Underload occurs when the hook is further released after it touches the ground, which can cause the rope to slip out of the pulley. This low-cost solution is ideally suited for all crane and hoist manufacturers.
