Automotive industry Automotive industry SMART FEATURES FOR THE AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY Our cranes can be equipped with Smart Features to help operators move loads more safely and quickly. Sway Control limits load swing to aid in handling and reduce risk of load collisions. And since a load doesn't sway during lift, travel and slowdown, you don't have to wait for a stopped load to stabilize before lowering it into place. This lets you move loads more safely, quickly and precisely. Target Positioning lets you lift a load, move it to one of several preset spots and place it, all using a single button....

Equipment and Service for the Automotive industry-6

Because of the layout of the Sandouville plant, Renault wanted to prevent the crane from passing over certain areas for the safety of the personnel and to prevent damage to the machines. To improve output at the workshop, the project manager wanted a positioning feature to supply the machines more quickly. We installed a SMARTON 34 T M8 crane with the Protected Areas feature at the Sandouville site. This uses telemetry lasers to restrict crane movement to assigned three-dimensional spaces, helping to prevent personnel safety risks and damage to the office access footbridge. The operators at Sandouville...
