Crane brake

The crane brake is a crucial safety device in lifting operations, encompassing various types such as mechanical, electromagnetic, resistive, hydraulic, pneumatic, and combined brakes. These brakes utilize different principles to achieve deceleration, stopping, and holding of crane movements. They are widely applied in fields such as industrial production, warehousing and logistics, ship loading and unloading, and construction sites. The proper functioning of crane brakes relies on regular maintenance and upkeep, including inspections for wear and tear, cleaning of surfaces, adjustment of gaps and braking forces, to ensure the safe and efficient operation of crane machinery.
