Deck Crane

Load moment indicator (LMI): A device that helps prevent overloading of the crane by monitoring the load being lifted and the position of the crane's boom. The LMI will alert the operator if the load is approaching or exceeding the crane's safe working load (SWL) or if the crane is operating outside of its safe operating limits.

Anti-two block system: A device that prevents the crane's hook block from colliding with the boom tip or other parts of the crane. The anti-two block system will automatically stop the hoist if the hook block gets too close to the boom tip or other obstructions.

Emergency stop button: A large, easily accessible button that allows the operator to quickly stop all crane movements in an emergency situation.

Limit switches: Switches that limit the range of movement of the crane's hoist, boom, or other components. For example, a hoist limit switch may prevent the hoist from lifting the load beyond a certain height.

Overload protection: A system that prevents the crane from lifting loads that are too heavy for its SWL. This may include mechanical stops, hydraulic pressure relief valves, or other devices.

Cargo handling: Deck cranes are commonly used to load and unload cargo from ships, including containers, bulk goods, and heavy machinery. They are an essential tool for the shipping and logistics industry, allowing for the efficient transfer of goods between ships and shore

Offshore operations: Deck cranes are used in offshore operations such as oil and gas exploration and production. They are used to lift and move equipment, supplies, and personnel between ships and offshore platforms.

Construction: Deck cranes are used in the construction of bridges, ports, and other infrastructure projects that require heavy lifting and transportation of materials.

Salvage operations: Deck cranes are used in salvage operations to lift and remove sunken vessels and other objects from the water.
