The best snag load protection is to avoid the snag load
In case of a snag load event the crane operation is stopped for a given time span due to subsequent maintenance. Why not detect a pending snag load with latest measurement and sensor technology already before its incidence?
Solution
Advantages
Step 1 - Hoisting phase
Step 2 - upcoming snag
Detect Upcoming Snag By inclinometer and accelerometer sensors Plus Load Cells for redundand detection
Step 3 - unique anticipation system
Safer & lower stress in drive chain due to anticipation using sensors located near by upcoming snag
Step 4 - the fastest reaction system
Fast detection & Fast Closing Total Reaction time 150ms aprox
Step 5 - redundant detection system
Additional security by second path detection using Load Cells
