What factors should you consider when selecting a storm brake system for your specific application? Ask us! Read on for details…
Cranes are critical for operations across a number of industries such as ports, coal, mining, and manufacturing. Different types of braking power is essential to ensure safe operations.
Selecting the right storm braking system for your application
Simply speaking, storm brakes enable the stopping force on crane rails and prevent uncontrolled movement of the crane along the rails. This helps the crane come to an immediate halt if required and even keeps it stable in the event of wind gusts. Storm brakes are generally spring set and hydraulically released.
But selecting the right storm brake system for your industry application is not as simple.
There are many variables to consider, including the required braking or holding capacity and the condition of the rail. You must also consider dynamic braking, which provides assistance to the motor brakes to stop movement in the event of an emergency.
We partner with an international company that specializes in storm braking systems for portal cranes. With this partnership, we bring new concepts and designs in storm bracing systems for rail mounted material handling cranes, on shore or inland.
