This is to prevent people from standing below or in direct proximity to the lifted load when operating the indoor crane. With the guidefast control system there is also a suitable energy chain solution for such applications. The guidefast control system is installed directly on the crane girder and ensures a safe guidance of the control cable.

Indoor crane main power and data supply, proven and alternative systems

Theo Diehl | 9. April 2020

In the case of indoor cranes, the main power supply is usually provided via busbar systems and data transmission via wireless data systems. A drum solution (motor-driven or spring balancer) is generally used for large or harbour crane systems. Information about the drum solution can be found in the article with the title: Harbour / Large Crane Main Power and Data Supply.
