Options



ABUS cranes, in their basic version, are equipped with top-of-the-range components usually offered as options by other manufacturers. This configuration guarantees safe, reliable operation, adapted to the specific needs of each user, thanks to high-performance, optimised equipment.

ABUS offers modern, customised solutions based on safety, flexibility and reliability. This equipment increases productivity and profitability while reducing the need for preventive maintenance. Available functions include load indication, weighing, lighting, automation, tandem operation and load evaluation.

The ABUS tandem control system

Allows the crane operator to control two electrically coupled overhead travelling cranes at the same time. Ideally, the ABUS radio remote control system should be used in combination with the tandem control system. With this control configuration, two crane operators can control the two cranes separately, or one operator can control both cranes, either separately or together. A real safety advantage when transporting long goods with 2 cranes

ABUS maintenance walkways

Allow access to the entire length of the crane girder, bringing all the main components of the crane system within easy reach, a major prerequisite for safe and efficient maintenance work.

Load suspension devices

Can be used with ABUS cranes for special material handling tasks. For example, ABUS cranes can be equipped with vacuum lifting units for lifting plates or with C-hooks for handling coils

ABULiner

Is an effective solution when precise positioning is required with variable speed hoists. This frequency converter also allows the maximum speed to be increased above the rated speed when lifting part / reduced loads. ABULiners are also available for long and cross travel.

LED Matrix dispaly

With three different digit sizes from 60mm to 180mm, digits, letters as well as special characters can be seen up to a reading distance of approx. 80m. Due to the small space requirement, it can be fitted to the crane in a variety of positions. Crane status displays as well as scrolling text can also be implemented.

ABUS crane lighting systems

Effectively illuminate the working space under a crane, avoiding the shadows normally cast by crane girders working beneath normal factory lighting. ABUS uses highly efficient energysaving LED lights. The number of lights, as well as their light intensity reflect customer requirements.

ABUS cross-type limit switches

Limit long travel and cross travel, automatically slowing or stopping the crane or the hoist at the end of the track. These limit switches may also be applied for crane zoning if it is necessary to divert a hoist on a crane around a prohibited area. The switch is operated by a switching lug installed on the crane track or on the crane bridge.

Anti-sway motion sequences with two speed operation

For those wanting to optimally transport sensitive or large loads, ABUS is expanding its pole-switchable system with the AZS smooth starting unit and the SU-2 smooth switching relay. These electronic systems are adjustable and allow the crane operator to use the acceleration and improved deceleration characteristics for sensitive control of the long and cross travel motions as an alternative to the frequency converter.

Anti-collision device

Protects cranes, preventing accidental collision via photoelectric distance measurement. Automatic switchover to a lower speed as the two hoists approach each other is a standard feature. A shut-down function can be incorporated. ABUS can also supply collision prevention devices designed to maintain a specified minimum spacing and other special designs.

ABUcontrol

ABUControl is a modern control system for overhead travelling cranes, combining comfort, safety and flexibility. With customised travel profiles, an intuitive interface (KranOS) and easy-to-maintain standard components, it optimises manoeuvring while simplifying maintenance. Advanced functions such as synchronisation and sway control ensure smooth, safe handling.

Calibrated weighing hook

The weighing system integrated into the ABUS block enables bridge operators to know the weight of loads attached to the hook. Accurate and reliable, it facilitates invoicing, lorry loading and supply, while guaranteeing compliance with safety standards. This approved digital scale comes ready to use with calibration and integrates perfectly with ABUS wire rope hoists.
