Keeping port cranes and terminal machinery safe and available

Speed and position monitoring, storm protection, impact buffers and guidance systems for gantries, crane hoists, boom hoists and trolleys, with local technical support.

Where we help

Through our modernisation projects we have improved productivity and functional safety, and simplified approval procedures after rope replacement and maintenance work.

AM 41 SIL 3 multiturn encoders

Speed and position monitoring

Precise feedback on gantry, hoist, boom hoist and trolley drives.

See encoders and sensors

Storm brake and rail clamp

Storm brakes and rail clamps

Hold cranes and rail-bound equipment in high wind, power failure or emergency conditions.

See storm brakes

Hydraulic buffer

Hydraulic buffers

Impact protection for heavy-duty crane and travel applications.

See hydraulic buffers

Guide roller system

Guide roller systems

Smooth wheel guidance where rail misalignment causes jolts and premature wear.

See guide roller systems

FG 41 rotary encoders

Retrofit and replacement

Replace obsolete feedback devices without redesigning the drive.
