Replacement of overload protection system dock crane 28 Keppel Verolme

In 2014 EPMC Europe Crane Solutions replaced an outdated overload protection system for an automatically controlled Airpes overload protection system on dock crane 28 belonging to Keppel Verolme. Before starting the job, we prepared the electro-technical engineering aspects and the drawings after which we supplied, fitted and commissioned the Airpes automatically controlled overload protection system. The overload protection system has a non-linear load curve on the apex of the boom. We also fitted an inclinometer for the apex/operating radius measurement and a display to read the tare weight and net weight, operating radius and the permitted weight during movement. The display also has a graphic colour bar that shows the remaining available space relative to the operating radius. Finally, we tested the crane under load and submitted a test load report.
