The mechanical load brake is a key component of crane safety. It serves as a secondary braking mechanism of the crane hoist, controlling the lowering speeds of rated loads and preventing loads from free falling. As an alternative, some cranes have an electrical load brake, which serves the same function.

One of the most expensive parts of crane repair is not the cost of the actual repair. It is the loss of operating income that results when a crane is out of service. Your downtime cost can be extremely high when you consider your wasted business support cost, and your loss of business opportunity cost.
