SWD Rope Rocker Damper

At Hubner Australia, we’re proud to offer the SWD Rope Rocker Damper from Römer Fördertechnik GmbH (RFT Germany) for Australia and New Zealand. This damper provides fast, reliable protection in case of rope failure on hoists and cranes.

 Key Features & Benefits

  • Made in Germany – Built to exact quality standards for high reliability

  • Immediate action – The damper engages right away if a rope breaks, so there’s no free fall

  • Low impact force – It limits shock to the load during normal operation

  • Built-in valve – The automatic valve switches instantly and resets without slack

  • Balanced rope tension – It keeps both ropes working evenly on rope rocker systems

 Technical Details

  • Use case: Mounted next to both ropes on a rope rocker system. It connects via hinge joints to both the rope and the crane structure

  • Safety design: When one rope snaps, the damper counteracts immediately to stop load drop

  • Industry grade: Suitable for nuclear power cranes (KTA systems), harbour cranes, steel plants, offshore platforms, and other critical applications

Custom Options

To meet your project needs, the SWD damper can include:

  • Custom finishes or paint (specify RAL colour)

  • Special builds tailored to crane types or environmental conditions
