Construction industry
Safety brakes and centrifugal brakes are vital systems to ensure the safety of workers in the construction industry.
These systems are essential in work platforms (MCWPs), cranes and other equipment used to work at height.
We will focus on how these systems are applied in the construction industry.
First of all, it is important to emphasize that construction safety is a top priority.
Every year, thousands of workers around the world are injured or even killed while working on construction sites.
For this reason, it is essential that construction crews have reliable and effective safety systems.
Work platforms, hoists and lifts are a key tool in construction.
These elements rise vertically along a pole and provide a safe and stable work platform for workers.
To ensure the safety of workers and prevent accidents, the work platforms are equipped with centrifugal brakes.
The safety brake is one of the most important components of a hoist for persons and materials and builders’ hoists for goods.
This brake is designed to prevent the platform from falling in the event of a system failure.
If the lifting system fails, the parachute safety brake automatically activates and prevents the platform from falling.
This braking system is essential to ensure the safety of the workers on the hoists.
The centrifugal brake is another important component of a mast climbing work platform (MCWPs). This brake is designed to control the speed of the platform during descent.
The brake is activated when the speed of the platform exceeds a certain limit, and is deactivated when the speed is reduced to a safe level.
The centrifugal brake is essential to ensure a smooth and controlled lowering of the platform, preventing accidents and injuries.
In addition to work platforms, safety brakes and centrifugal brakes are also used on cranes and other construction equipment. These systems are essential to ensure the safety of workers and prevent accidents.
Safety brakes and centrifugal brakes are vital systems to guarantee the safety of workers in the construction industry.
These systems are used on work platforms, hoists, cranes, and other equipment used to work at height. It is essential that these systems are reliable and effective to ensure the safety of workers in the workplace.
In the attached pictures, you can see how our safety brakes are applied in the construction industry, guaranteeing reliable and safe operation at all timeso.
