ADVANCED PRODUCT FEATURES:
PROGRAMMABLE CONTROL UNIT
A Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) enables monitoring of FEM data including running time, work cycles, motor starts and emergency stops. This visibility of data helps ensure proactive maintenance to prevent breakdowns and avoid any potential downtime. Fault recordings make identifying and correcting faults a much quicker process.
ANTI-SWAY SYSTEM PROGRAMMABLE CONTROL UNIT
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.
ELECTRONIC OVERLOAD CONTROL
As an additional safety feature, the Güralp GMD electric wire rope hoists have a built-in overload application which stops the system when overloaded.
LOAD-DEPENDENT SPEED CONTROL
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.
ANTI-CRAB SYSTEM
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.
VARIABLE FREQUENCY CONTROL
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.

WIRE ROPE HOIST FAQs
What capacity wire rope hoist do I need?
The required capacity depends on the maximum load weight, lifting height, duty cycle, and how frequently the hoist will be used. A suitable safety margin should always be included to account for dynamic loads and operating conditions. RGM Cranes can assist in specifying the correct electric wire rope hoist capacity based on your application requirements.
Are wire rope hoists suitable for continuous operation?
Yes. Electric wire rope hoists are specifically designed for continuous and high-duty-cycle applications. They are commonly used in heavy industrial environments where frequent lifting, long operating hours, and higher load capacities are required, making them more suitable than chain hoists for demanding operations.
What is FEM classification and why does it matter?
FEM classification defines the duty class of a hoist based on factors such as load spectrum, operating time, and number of load cycles. It helps determine whether a hoist is suitable for light, medium, or heavy-duty use. Selecting the correct FEM class is essential to ensure reliability, safety, and long service life in your specific application.
