Airpes: Electronic Limiter and Blackbox Eagle

A new black box controller monitors and logs the hoist, trolley and bridge movements of high duty cycle overhead cranes and hoists to ensure safe lifting and use within intended parameters.

The new system is part of a series of overload devices, but it sits at the top of the portfolio, including a multi-hoist overload protector, multi anti-collision crane system, and full connection with a black box app, for download on a laptop or smart phone.

The system is available with a black box customized for hoist manufacturers’ volume production. The product can be installed in the control panel, usually located on the trolley or bridge, of a new electric overhead traveling crane or be retrofitted.

It is manufactured to M8 standards, a duty rating covering 20 or more lifts per hour at or near a crane’s rated capacity. It primarily suits the product for installation on cranes in medium to heavy-duty environments.
