Crane Safe Load Indicator for EOT Crane

Crane Safe Load Indicator for EOT Cranes – Enhancing Safety & Efficiency

By Saras Equipments Private Limited

In modern industries, Electric Overhead Traveling (EOT) Cranes are the backbone of material handling operations. From steel plants to warehouses, these cranes lift and move heavy loads daily, making safety and reliability critical. One of the most important devices ensuring safe crane operation is the Safe Load Indicator (SLI).

What is a Safe Load Indicator (SLI)?

A Safe Load Indicator, sometimes called a Load Moment Indicator (LMI), is a crane safety system that continuously monitors the lifted load and ensures it remains within the crane’s rated capacity. If the crane attempts to lift beyond its safe limit, the SLI immediately alerts the operator with audio-visual alarms, preventing accidents and equipment damage.

In simple words, the SLI acts like the “black box of crane safety”, ensuring every lift is within safe limits.

Why Do EOT Cranes Need an SLI?

Unlike mobile or tower cranes, EOT Cranes are mostly used in repetitive and high-volume operations. Operators may unintentionally overload the crane, leading to:

• Structural Damage to crane components.

• Unexpected Downtime due to breakdowns.

• Accidents & Safety Risks for operators and workers.

An SLI eliminates these risks by offering real-time load monitoring and overload protection.

Key Features of Saras Equipments SLI for EOT Cranes

• Real-Time Load Display – Shows actual lifted load vs. rated capacity.

• Overload Alarm System – Buzzer and flashing lights alert operators during unsafe operations.

• Digital Display Unit – Easy-to-read interface with load, percentage utilization, and warning signals.

• Data Logging – Records lifting history for audits and performance tracking.

• Multiple Sensor Options – Works with rope clamp sensors, pin-type load cells, or shank load cells.

• Durable & Industrial Grade – Built to withstand heavy-duty crane environments.

Benefits for Industries

1. Enhanced Safety – Reduces accidents and injuries.

2. Extended Crane Life – Prevents wear and tear due to overloading.

3. Regulatory Compliance – Meets industry safety norms.

4. Improved Productivity – Operators can work confidently without fear of overloads.

5. Cost Savings – Minimizes breakdowns and maintenance costs.
