Overloading and lifting at an angle are among the main causes of crane accidents: they damage the crane structure, the hoist, the wire rope and the hook, and put the people under the load at risk. Crane safety equipment measures what the crane is really lifting and stops the hoist before it goes past the limit.
TMA is Elfatek’s agent in Egypt. We choose the right sensors and control unit for your crane, install and calibrate them, and check them again during periodic crane maintenance.
Elfatek crane safety equipment
| Equipment | What it does | Models |
|---|---|---|
| Rope type load cell | Clamped on the hoist wire rope; measures the rope tension | ELS-LC3T, ELS-LC5T, ELS-LC10T (Ø8–32 mm rope) |
| Pin type load cell (load pin) | Replaces a pin at the hook block, sheave or drum; measures the load directly | ELP-01T, 02T, 03T, 05T, 10T (1–10 t) |
| Overload indicator | Reads the load cell and switches relays to warn and stop hoisting | OCS-CU01-R1 (1 input, 4 relays), OCS-CU02 (2 inputs, 8 relays) |
| External load display | Large 100 mm LED digits, readable from 50 m indoors | ELS-DJE6-N-A, RIO-AC1 (with remote control and relays) |
| Rope angle limit sensor | Stops lifting at an angle larger than the set limit (side pull) | ALS-D2-220 (2 axes, IP65) |
How the system works together
- A rope type load cell or a load pin measures the load on the hoist.
- An overload indicator compares it with the warning and cut-off points you set.
- At the warning point a relay drives a light or siren; at the cut-off point hoisting up stops while lowering stays possible.
- A large external display shows the load to the operator and the people on the floor.
- On cranes that must not side-pull, the rope angle limit sensor adds a 2-axis angle limit.
Questions and answers
What is crane safety equipment?
Devices that measure the load and the rope angle on a crane and stop hoisting before the crane is overloaded or lifts at an angle: load cells, overload indicators, load displays and rope angle limit sensors.
Rope type or pin type load cell – which one do I need?
A rope type load cell is clamped on the wire rope and is easy to add to an existing crane. A pin type load cell (load pin) replaces a pin at the hook block, sheave or drum and measures the load directly. Our engineers choose from the crane design.
Does TMA supply Elfatek safety equipment in Egypt?
Yes. TMA is Elfatek’s agent in Egypt and supplies, installs and calibrates Elfatek load cells, overload indicators, displays and rope angle limit sensors, with spare parts and after-sales support.
Can overload protection be added to an old crane?
Yes. On most rope cranes a load cell and an overload indicator can be added without changing the hoist; we survey the crane first.
Do you supply Elfatek crane safety equipment in Egypt and Saudi Arabia?
Yes. TMA supplies Elfatek crane safety equipment to factories and warehouses across Egypt from our office in Nasr City, Cairo, with installation and after-sales service in Egypt, and we also supply customers in Saudi Arabia. Send your requirements on WhatsApp or through the quotation form.
