The Konecranes Training Institute conducted a study to determine the source of overhead crane incidents including an analysis of fatalities and injuries.
Wire ropes are one of the most critical parts of your wire rope hoists, and they can contain hundreds of individual strands. Broken strands on the rope exterior can be found by visual inspections, but the condition of the core and inner wire strands cannot be seen. To evaluate the safety of a wire rope, you need to know what’s happening both on the outside and on the inside. That’s why Konecranes offers RopeQ™ Magnetic Rope Inspection.
The Konecranes Hook Latch Trigger makes handling of hook attachments fast and easy, enhancing safety and productivity. Crane operator will have both hands free to handle the load attachment when inserting or removing it from the hook. Latch is locked in open position with hook latch trigger feature. It can be installed within minutes to various kinds of old hooks making crane operators’ daily work easier and providing peace of mind.
