The inspection covers mechanical, electrical and safety-related aspects and serves to prevent accidents and hazards during operation. Crane testing is based on DGUV regulation 52 (“Cranes”), the German Ordinance on Industrial Safety and Health (BetrSichV) and the Technical Rules for Industrial Safety (TRBS).

Our SKS series rope force sensor is the perfect solution for continuous load monitoring and detection of overloads and underloads on crane hoist ropes. The sensor can be retrofitted without any modifications to your crane’s hoisting device and with minimal installation effort in order to subsequently monitor loads safely. An integrated amplifier generates an interference-independent 4…20mA measurement signal that can be routed over long distances to an evaluation unit. A redundant version (diverse) with 2 x 4…20 mA is also available as an option. Together with Primosensor display devices and limit value switches such as the DGS4116S002, the load can either be visualized and/or a load switch-off can be carried out directly.
