OVERLOAD LIMITER

OVERLOAD LIMITER

Safety-Critical Load Protection with Audible Alert & Load-Cut Control

The Overload Limiter serves as a vital safety device in crane and hoist systems, actively preventing lifts that exceed rated load capacities. It combines real-time load sensing with programmable threshold management, offering warning signals and load-cut action to protect equipment and personnel.

⚡️Key Features & Benefits
  • Proactive Overload Warning & Cut-off
    Typically triggers an alarm around 90% of rated load, followed by a relay cutoff or shutdown when threshold is exceeded (e.g., 105%–110%)
  • Configurable Load Sensitivity
    Adjustable set points for alarm and cut-off levels—tailored to specific load requirements—ensuring optimal safety and operational flexibility
  • LED Indicators & Alarm Feedback
    Commonly includes visible and audible alerts. Some models incorporate simplified displays or indicator LEDs to provide clear status feedback.
  • Robust, Industrial-Grade Construction
    Enclosures typically rated IP44 to IP65, with load sensor rated higher for dust and moisture protection, ensuring durability in harsh environments.

🤖 Advanced (Smart/Intellgent) Functions
  • Delayed Response Logic
    Works in stages—issue warning at near-capacity, delay before disengagement, and immediate relock at high overload—to reduce operational shocks.
  • Sensor Versatility
    Compatible with different sensor types including side-pressure, shaft/pin, or shear beam types to match crane design constraints.
  • Data Recording (Optional)
    Some advanced models log overload events—duration, frequency, load magnitude—for compliance and maintenance analysis .
💼 Applications
  • Overhead and gantry cranes needing load integrity and safety monitoring.
  • Retrofit projects upgrading older cranes with modern overload protection.
  • Heavy-duty industrial zones (steel, mining, ports) where enforcing safe load limits is critical.
  • High-use crane operations where automatic load shut-off minimizes risk and downtime.
