Mini-crane with unique safety sensors

For fifteen years, Gert van Hoef – Hoeflon’s founder and owner – has focused on developing the perfect ‘compact crane’. Small enough to pass through a standard doorway, these tiny cranes can lift a load of up to 9,000 kg! Rotero supplies unique safety sensors for these machines. Each sensor has a unique NodeID plus marking to ensure it gets mounted at the correct position on the crane. Five crane models are currently on the market, and Hoeflon aims to double production by the end of 2022.

How to read the characteristics of a DC motor?

The characteristic curves of a given motor are charts that enable us to determine the torque output at a specific speed.
