December 15, 2012, India - The Operating cranes and other lifting equipment has particularly become a very common practice in many industrial contexts as electronic cranes are widely used in various construction and factory sites throughout the world. The increased volume of the traffic, of the surface of the working areas and of the amount of the loads in order to profit from the economies of scale means that these handling machines deal with the several hundred of the weights every day. With an increasing use of the cranes, comes an ever higher number of the probable crane accidents, that in the best scenario result in production delays and in the worst ones lead to the loss of the precious human lives.
The various researches, surveys and recent studies show that the main cause for the crane accidents during crane operation is lack of stability. This can be caused for a number of reasons such as the surface where the crane is particularly positioned not being uniform, the load to be lifted is exceeding the weight or size of the crane is actually able to handle, or the cranes hoist not being positioned at the gravity centre of the load. For measuring the crane’s load maximum load capacity, a crane limit switch is being inserted in all modern electronic cranes that are being manufactured in recent times.
Due to cases of electrocution, incidents that result in the loss of the precious human lives during operating the heavy handling machinery are in the majority of the cases.
