Only a certain amount of load can be borne by overhead cranes and if this load exceeds the limit inadvertently it can cause the crane to lose its balance or breakdown altogether. Therefore under the name of efficiency or faster work, it is imperative to take care not to cross these limits. Behind overhead crane accidents, inability to know the amount of weight being lifted can be a major factor. An operator often tends to overestimate the weight lifting capacities of an overhead crane, in the name of efficiency and getting the work done rapidly. Not only to those who are operating or supervising the machines, this can also spell disaster to the equipment and property.
In the regular safety routine, regular and frequent checking of the various components of the machines needs to be an integral part. The possibility of collisions between cranes and other machines, buildings, objects or products that are being transported over the crane is another major issue regarding the security of the overhead cranes. Becoming an important part of the safety measures, these collisions can prove very costly and protecting the cranes from them. Saving innocent lives, a crane load cell system offers the much needed protection to the crane.
A number of failsafe features are possessed by effective anti-collision systems. The interfaced motors are immediately made inactive, in case of a power-failure. In order to monitor the system, they incorporate self-diagnostic functions.
