Cranes Brakes

Heavy-Duty Crane Brakes

The GH505 Series is a comprehensive range of Heavy-Duty Brakes for use on Cranes, Hoists & other machinery. Utilised for both stopping and parking, our magnetic brakes are offered in seven sizes with torque ratings ranging from 10 to 9000 lb-ft, they meet the requirements of AISE Standard Nos. 6 and 11. Electrically released and spring-set ensures that when power is removed from the coil, a braking force is provided.

With a waterproof stainless-steel housing for the DC magnetic coil & cast ductile iron brake wheels, the GH505 Series is ideal for a range of heavy-duty environments.

The brake’s design is one of the most straightforward on the market with only 35 pieces. Made up of a base, a brake wheel for mounting on the proper rotational shaft, two armatures, two shoe levers, and a brake coil, the braking coil is made to work with direct current electricity

Over the Wheel

The braking power is evenly distributed ensuring that both shoes get the same amount of force for maximum stopping power.

Minimised Wear

Owing to the huge bearing area and tight tolerances, wear at the shoe levers is minimised.

Encapsulated Coil

Encased in a stainless-steel housing, the coil has complete environmental protection to ensure a lengthy service life.

Easy Brake Torque Adjustment

The unique & easy torque adjustment knob prevents the spring from being overtightened, removing any risk of stud breakage.

One-Time Shoe Positioning

The brake shoes are tightly fastened to the brake shoe levers to prevent both tilting and “riding the wheel” when the brake is released.

Long-Life Brake Wheels

Ductile iron can withstand the high temperatures brought on by frequent braking operations in a range of conditions.
