NEW EMERGENCY DEVICE FOR SAFE LOAD LOWERING IN THE EVENT OF MAINS POWER LOSS

摘要

As part of an ongoing safety evaluation for all its products, J D Neuhaus has introduced an emergency lowering device for its EH range of air operated monorail hoists. With this feature JDN complies with the leading standards like NORSOK, specifying an emergency device for the safe lowering of loads in the event of a cut in the main power supply. This new device supplements an existing fail-safe disc brake, which is activated in the immediate event of a mains power failure, ensuring that suspended loads are held safely and securely at their above floor level until mains power is again made available.
