EIDE’s DBQ Centrifugal Brake Shortlisted at IAPA Awards 2020

EIDE’s DBQ Centrifugal Brake: A Breakthrough in Safety Technology

EIDE is proud to announce that its DBQ unlockable centrifugal brake has been shortlisted in the prestigious “Contribution to Safe Working at Height” category at the International Awards for Powered Access (IAPA) 2020. This recognition highlights the brake’s innovative approach to safety in high-risk environments like construction and building maintenance.

Launched in 2019, the DBQ centrifugal brake was designed to meet unique industry demand: the ability to manually disable the brake for testing additional safety mechanisms in the same machinery. This feature is a game-changer for operators, offering greater control and efficiency in testing processes. The brake operates entirely without external power, ensuring reliability and easy operation. It can be quickly switched on or off, enhancing convenience during equipment maintenance and inspections.

EIDE, with more than 65 years of experience, is a trusted name in designing and manufacturing industrial brakes for sectors like renewable energy, construction, and beyond. The DBQ centrifugal brake exemplifies EIDE’s commitment to improving the safety, efficiency, and durability of industrial machinery.
