About Anti-crane Collision Switch System
Anti crane collision switch/system is a safety device used in industrial settings to prevent two crane or a crane and an obstacle from colliding. Its especially important where multiple overhead cranes operate on the same runway.
Applications -
- Overhead cranes in factories
- Gantry cranes in shipyards
- Steel plants and warehouses
- Construction sites with multiple cranes
High-Performance Collision Prevention
Our Anti-crane Collision Switch System integrates a sensitive proximity/infrared sensor, capable of detecting obstacles with up to 1 mm accuracy across a range from 0.5 to 10 meters. By actively preventing collisions between cranes, it enhances operational safety and minimizes costly downtime in industrial environments.

This system is engineered to withstand tough industrial conditions. With its rugged, UV-stabilized polycarbonate enclosure, high-quality ABS and metal material, and industrial-grade, corrosion-resistant connectors, it guarantees durability. The IP65 rating provides excellent protection against dust and water, making it suitable for various settings.
User-Friendly and Adaptable Design
Offering both panel and surface mounting options, as well as easy wiring with screw terminal interfaces, setup is straightforward. The adjustable sensitivity and selectable manual or automatic reset modes allow you to customize the system for your specific requirements, delivering flexibility and user control.
FAQ's of Anti-crane Collision Switch System:
Q: How does the Anti-crane Collision Switch System help prevent crane collisions?
A: The system uses advanced proximity and infrared sensors to detect obstacles or other cranes within a 0.5 to 10-meter range. When an object is detected, it sends a relay contact signal to the control system, prompting immediate intervention and helping to prevent accidents.
Q: What are the main benefits of using this collision switch system in industrial crane operations?
A: The main benefits include enhanced safety by preventing collisions, reduced equipment damage, minimized downtime, and compliance with EMC standard EN 61000-6. Its robust design and long switch life ensure reliable, low-maintenance operation.
Q: Where should the Anti-crane Collision Switch System be installed?
A: This device is designed for easy panel or surface mounting on overhead cranes and hoists. Its weatherproof and dustproof enclosure with an IP65 rating provides suitability for both indoor and outdoor industrial environments.
Q: What is the process for resetting the system after a collision alarm?
A: You can select between manual and automatic reset modes on the system. In manual mode, an operator must reset the system after an alarm, while in automatic mode, it will reset itself once the obstruction is cleared, providing flexibility for different operational needs.
Q: How easy is it to install and maintain this system?
A: Installation is straightforward thanks to the screw terminal interface, panel or surface mounting options, and industrial-grade connectors. With an LED status display and a durable enclosure, maintenance is minimal and typically limited to periodic inspection.
Q: What type of environments can this system operate in?
A: The system is designed to function in demanding industrial settings, with a wide storage temperature range of -25C to +70C and humidity tolerance up to 95% RH non-condensing. The UV-stabilized polycarbonate enclosure and IP65 rating provide further environmental resilience.
Q: What electrical and output specifications does the collision switch system offer?
A: It operates on 24V DC input and provides relay outputs (NO/NC) rated at 5A at 230V AC. The output can be integrated easily into standard industrial control panels or machinery interfaces.
