LOAD FALL ARRESTERS
Considered as Collective Protection Equipment, the load arrester is a lifting equipment and an indispensable means of protection for all your lifting operations. Equipped with an automatic brake in case your load falls, the load arrester aims to hold your main load in order to stop it in a few centimetres and avoid an accident.
Mobile cranes, ideal for indoor use. The mobile jib crane can lift loads ranging from 150 kg to 500 kg with a radius of action of around two metres. The mobile jib crane can be moved by means of all-terrain wheels, which allow it to move on any type of ground. The most commonly used model is the mobile jib crane with a triangular boom with a hollow profile that adapts to workshop conditions.
Drum cranes are the most common cranes, especially in the industrial sector. This type of crane is designed to move very heavy loads of up to several tonnes. They can be used for both indoor and outdoor applications. The jib crane is fixed with chemical anchors or with anchor rods and concrete blocks. The jib cranes are available with a triangular or inverted jib with a rotation range of 270° to 360° and a reach of up to 9 metres.
The wall-mounted jib cranes are equipped with a triangular or inverted jib, which reduces the headroom. The wall-mounted jib crane has the option of being motorised or manual with a 180° rotation. The wall-mounted jib cranes are suitable for individual use and avoid clutter in the work area. The lifting capacity of this type of jib crane ranges from 150kg to 4 tonnes with a standard reach of up to 8000mm.
To choose the right jib crane for your lifting application, you need to:
Know the environment in which you want to install your jib crane. This will allow you to choose between a fixed jib crane, a mobile jib crane or a wall-mounted jib crane.
Know the load you wish to lift with the crane. The weight will allow you to choose the necessary lifting capacity.
Know the maximum height and reach required to lift the load.
Know the type of jib crane you want : you can choose between an electric jib crane or a manual jib crane.
A design office is at your disposal to meet your lifting needs for your cranes and gantries. The design office will draw up an estimate according to your request. For further information, please contact our customer service.
Known as a "fall arrester", the fall arrester must be equipped with a progressive stop system so that the rope or cable is not overloaded when ascending or descending your load. Loads carried by the load arrester must be secured with a suitable connector. The load can be static or mobile.
You will find our fall arresters available for a GVW of between 100 and 500 KG with a cable length of between 10 and 30 M. This tool can be accompanied by carabiners and lifting rings sold on our site in the lifting accessories category. For load arresters dedicated to extreme lifting operations, they can be attached to a beam.
In addition, we offer load balancers which are very useful devices in handling. The purpose of this load balancer is to minimise the operator's efforts. Very useful for the industrial field, this lifting tool is very often used during lifting operations.
Overall, the load balancer is very simple to use, but it also allows you to :
- Reduce fatigue and strain on your operator
- Improve the safety of the load and the user during your lifting operation
- Improve the ergonomics of your operating environment
How do I choose my load balancer?
To choose your load balancer, you must take into account several selection criteria such as The maximum load (WLL), the length of the cable, and your working environment in order to identify possible constraints or dangers.
For more information on the load arrester or the balancer, please contact our customer service, they will answer all your questions. You can also visit our blog levagemanutention.com to find out more about the use and safety of our lifting equipment.
