If manufacturing cranes and hoists for industrial or construction applications is your expertise. our hoisting solutions help you make the most of your installations, throughout the entire life cycle of your machines

Enhance reliability, safety, performance

The controller card inside the ATV 71 drive includes ready-to-use dedicated hoisting functions such as anti-crab function to synchronize gantry crane movement; accurate anti-sway function to avoid uncontrolled load movements and speed up handling and slewing control function for smoother rotations.

Prevent incidents and reduce maintenance

– CANopen communication bus allows preventive maintenance through real time tracking of component usage.
– An immediate incident register enables you to quickly diagnose problems, prevent components failure and anticipate the need for possible replacement components.

Established and successful history in steel

Specialising in the manufacture of long steels for the automotive and mining industries, our customer sought to ease maintenance and maximise the productivity of its existing installations. The firm modernised its production site overhead cranes with a high-performance premium solution. The system enhanced performance with user-friendly operation and uninterrupted operation.
