Lifting Height Limiter

Зміст Показувати

The lifting height limiter effectively mitigates the risks of hook over-lifting, which can lead to catastrophic failures such as boom damage, cable snapping, or collision with overhead structures—common hazards in мостовий кран workshops, gantry crane yards, and port container terminals. By delivering precise height control and timely intervention, this device ensures seamless coordination between lifting operations and site infrastructure, becoming an essential component for safeguarding critical lifting equipment in industrial and logistics hubs.

Lifting Height Limiter Core Functions & Working Principles

The lifting height limiter operates on a sophisticated yet reliable mechanism that combines precision sensing, intelligent processing, and responsive control. Its core functions are engineered to address the key safety challenges in lifting operations:

1. Real-Time Height Monitoring: Equipped with high-precision sensors (such as rotary encoders or laser distance sensors), the device continuously detects the lifting height of the hook or load. The sensor data is transmitted to the central control unit, which processes the information with an accuracy of up to ±1mm, ensuring that even minor height changes are captured.
2. Multi-Level Alarm System: To provide gradual warnings and prevent sudden disruptions, the limiter features multi-level alarm thresholds. When the lifting height reaches the first-level (pre-alarm) threshold, a visual and audible alarm is triggered to alert the operator. If the height continues to approach the second-level (action) threshold, the device sends a signal to reduce the lifting speed. Finally, when the preset maximum height is reached, the limiter initiates an automatic shutdown of the lifting mechanism, stopping all upward movement immediately.
3. Manual Override & Emergency Stop: In emergency situations or for maintenance purposes, the device is equipped with a manual override function that allows authorized personnel to temporarily bypass the height limit under strict safety protocols. Додатково, an integrated emergency stop button provides an extra layer of protection, enabling instant shutdown of the entire lifting system if needed.
4. Data Logging & Remote Monitoring: Advanced models come with data logging capabilities, which record key operational parameters such as lifting height, alarm events, and shutdown instances. This data can be exported via USB or transmitted to a central monitoring system through wireless communication (such as Wi-Fi or Bluetooth), facilitating equipment maintenance, performance analysis, and safety audits.
