Crane Safe Load Indicators

The easy self install OPD100 Safe Load Indicator (SLI) is a device which is installed on mobile or portal cranes to alert the operator if the lift is exceeding the safe operating range of the machinery. The device will physically lock the machinery in circumstances it determines to be unsafe. The OPD100 systems is composed of a microprocessor connected to various sensors on the crane itself. The OPD100 measures the angle and extension of the boom along with the load weight and compares this with the manufacturer's specifications to determine if the lift is safe.

The OPD100 has the capability of detecting the angle, weight of load lifted, and ground radius of the lifting device. It controls the lifting equipment to the level that it tries to keep the machinery functioning as per the manufacturer's suggested safety charts.

The crane is fitted with multiple sensors, for each of the measured parameters, which are then further displayed in the operator's cabin for his benefit.
