Specialist crane

Lifting equipment manufacturer, Hite has housed the LED light in a
Demag Cranes & Components, has
installed a specialist crane system at
Enviropower’s £12.5m energy from
waste plant in Lancing, West Sussex.

Demag installed a 10t SWL,
13.25m span, double girder grabbing
crane. A number of features were
incorporated, within the system
design, to meet the extremely
arduous operating environment.

Motors are inverter driven for
smooth control of movement and
accurate positioning accuracy,
reducing the amount of airborne
dust in the workplace. The crane also
has thermal protection in all
motions, together with IP55 rated
enclosures on all motors and panels.

Safety features include overload
protection, anti derailment and slack
rope detection.
