Application
Cranes and Hoists Automation
Our selection of drives deliver superior performance, are compact, modular and span a wide power range, making them an ideal solution for crane and hoist applications.
Drives that deliver the highest performance without compromising on safety in all environments
Application Areas
Whether in factories, construction sites, warehouses, marine applications, or ports, our recommended drive solutions offer the accuracy, power, and flexibility needed to meet your crane and hoist application requirements.
Load Handling Capability
From small, delicate loads to several hundred tons of molten steel, cargo containers, or other materials, we provide drives that ensure trusted, efficient, and reliable crane operation in both new and retrofit installations.
Energy Efficiency
Additionally, these types of applications take advantage of our drives’ regenerative capabilities to reduce energy consumption and associated costs.
