On the standard linear ramps used for horizontal crane motions, the load can sway during acceleration and deceleration. This swaying or oscillation can cause problems for control and positioning. The anti-sway applications offered in the Güralp GMD range increase safety and protect the load and hoist – reducing maintenance.

As an additional safety feature, the Güralp GMD electric wire rope hoists have a built-in overload application which stops the system when overloaded.

Through the load cell on the electric wire rope hoist, the system recognises if it is loaded or not. The speed is adjusted proportionally to the load, increasing as the load decreases, decreasing as the load increases. Remote Control allows you to monitor the weight handled errors, warnings, and other system status information.

Stress and accelerated wear can occur on the wheels of a crane when the rails are uneven, the wheels are different sizes, misaligned, or when wheels slip on the rail due to unbalanced loads. The anti-crab system is able to detect the speed the crane moves over the rail and adjusts to prevent slipping or misalignment.

This feature provides speed control for when the crane is accelerated or decelerated, ensuring softer stops and starts to avoid shocks and impacts for increased longevity.
