Hook Operated Limit Switches

A limit switch is a critical component of overhead crane safety. Limit switches are electromechanical devices that regulate everything from household appliances to industrial machinery. For an overhead crane, they provide solid and established points of reference for maintaining efficiency, reliability and safety standards.

Hook operated limit switch provides additional safety for hoisting motion and reduces wear of mechanical hoisting components by slowing down to motion before the upper limit. This way, it can also improve vertical hook reach.
