Applications
line

Force control switch

Force control switches are used to protect cranes, hoists and other lifting machinery against weight or force overload as well as slack load. They are also used to perform control functions in the case of DynaSwitch. There are no dial indicators associated with these devices, only switches which not only shut off power when an overload condition exists, but also operate lights, buzzers or klaxons to warn of an impeding overload.

Cranegard

The Cranegard clamps on to the line allowing it to be mounted where it is not possible to mount a DynaSwitch. No rope cutting is required.

  1. Specify Model number.
  2. Specify pulley size (determined by rope diameter).
  1. Specify switch option and quantity.
