Construction

In the construction industry, industrial brakes are mission-critical safety components essential for the safe operation and precise control of heavy equipment. Primarily, they are employed as fail-safe holding brakes on hoisting mechanisms, such as those in tower cranes, mobile cranes, and personnel hoists. These brakes, typically spring-applied electromagnetic or hydraulic types, are designed to automatically engage in the event of power loss, securely holding suspended loads and preventing catastrophic failure. Beyond hoisting, they are also used for slewing and travel drives to control rotation and movement, as well as on winches and conveyors to manage high-inertia loads and ensure positional accuracy. The reliability and performance of these brakes are directly linked to on-site safety, accident prevention, and overall project efficiency.
