Overhead crane safety systems: protect your operations

Safety systems on overhead cranes are essential to ensure operation. Overhead crane accessories for safety are essential.

• Load cells : These systems constantly monitor the weight of the load and alert the operator if the safe limit is exceeded, preventing overloading and possible structural collapse.
• Speed control: Overspeed systems regulate the speed of overhead cranes, preventing abrupt and dangerous movements that could compromise safety.

• Handrails and safety nets: These physical barriers help prevent falls from height and protect operators from potential accidents.
• Personal protective equipment (PPE): Operators must wear appropriate PPE, such as hard hats, gloves and harnesses, to minimise the risk of injury.

The bumpers (see image above) detect the presence of objects or people in the operating area of the bridge crane, automatically stopping the movement to avoid collisions or accidents.

Overhead travelling cranes must be equipped with accessible emergency stop buttons. It must be possible to immediately stop all functions of the equipment in the event of a hazardous situation.

It is essential to provide adequate education and training for overhead crane operators. This ensures that they are familiar with the safety systems and are able to act appropriately.

Regular maintenance of security systems is important. In addition, it is necessary to keep abreast of technological updates and improvements to keep security systems up to date. You can see all the systems on the upgrades.

The implementation of these systems is essential to protect operators, loads and prevent accidents in the workplace. Through them, a safer and more reliable working environment is created. In addition, proper training and maintenance are key to ensuring the continued effectiveness of safety systems.
