Control pendants Load hooks Especially in explosive atmospheres, a safe and reliable control of the load is indispensable. Trolley and crane travelling can be carried out slowly and accurately or quickly and efficiently thanks to the two-stage rocker switches. Smooth running and functionally arranged switching elements always hereby give the crane opera tor the necessary control of the crane and the load. To ensure spark protection from contacts of the load hook, for example, with lifting equipment, the load hooks are optionally coated with bronze. The especially robust design of the control...

NOVAex Electric wire rope hoists for loads up to 80 t Potential equalisation using earthing strap Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet Potential equalisation at EX crane systems The installation of electrical systems in potentially explosive areas basically requires a variety of prevention measures. An indispensable protective precaution here is the potential equalisation of all live components. All components of the crane that can be live in the case of failure are connected together and then finally to the protective conductor. In practice, not only are all electric components to be earthed without exception,...
