21 Moving on up. crane systems ABUS clamping buffers can be used for a variety of functions: for limiting crane travel, fixing hoists at specific positions, absorbing impact energy or securing trolleys against rolling away. They are adjustable and can be installed as required. In particular, they can be used temporarily, offering considerable versatility. Especially for monorail hoist trolleys, ABUS offers clamping buffers designed for adaptation to current conditions. ABUCommander push button pendants feature state-of-the-art ergonomic design and can be used with all ABUS travelling cranes with contactor-type control systems. They ensure safe activation of all crane functions and have a slightly angled configuration for holding in a natural, low-fatigue position. ABUCommanders feature nonageing rugged plastic housings that are corrosion and weather proof. The connection between handset and control cable is designed with bayonet connections, making it possible for the handset to be released and removed, if required. The ABUS LIS-SE load indicator system features a comprehensive range of switching and monitoring functions. The system offers an extremely short load detection time of only a few hundredths of a second, effectively protecting ABUS wire rope hoists against overloading. The measurement principle allows the load on the hoist to be limited without reducing the lifting height available. The main functions include: - overload protection - part-load switches - operating hours meter - current monitoring for motor protection - redundant circuitry for additional safety - mains power and fault diagnostic - braking with use of motor as a generator to reduce wear on brakes - load population recorder (optional) - load display (optional)
