A mobile crane with a load rating (maximum capacity) of nine tonnes or greater is equipped with an anti-two-block device.For Lattice boom cranes – Positive boom stops, Boom stop limit device, jib stop device.Boom angle indicator (can be within the crane Load moment indicator).The load gauge is only required to indicate the weight of the object being lifted. All tower cranes are equipped with a permanent load gauge. A mobile crane with a load rating (maximum capacity) of nine tonnes or greater is equipped with a permanent load gauge.
CAN/CSA Z150 - Safety Code On Mobile Cranes).
Because operators may not always have a full view of the work process, it is important to have proper communication during operation. The equipment must be capable of lifting the load.
I-5000 Flexco indicator with 2 dry contacts that can be used for any security application such as: blocking the “UP” function when the load is exceeding the capacity of your crane (overload protection), blocking the “DOWN” function as soon as the hook is lying on the ground (loose/slack cable protection system), blocking the release button on a grapple hook (load fall protection), warning buzzers, warning lights….There are many safety considerations for hoists, cranes, and lifting devices. Flexco sensor to be installed on the trolley or hoist support Same sensor is installed for any given crane capacity, type or model
The advantages of the Flexco sensor on overhead cranes:: The Flexco Solid Structure Sensor will help the operator to not accidentally overload the crane and will allow him to safely lift accordingly to the specifications of the equipment in question. The system is usually used both as a load limiter and as a load indicator. The Flexco overhead crane system can also assist the operator during production by indicating the weight that is applied to your lifting equipment. Most importantly, to help keep your employees safe. Flexco’s load sensing system has been developed to help protect your lifting equipment against any permanent damage that could be caused by overload or misuse. Flexco’s patented sensor has been a pproved by the CSST (Quebec work safety board) and many OEM’s in the lifting industry in general because it is installed without any modifications to the structure of your lifting equipment.
