Side Wise: An Electronic Side Pull Prevention

Cranes and hoists are only designed to withstand vertical loading. Out-of-vertical hoisting, commonly referred to as side-pulling, can cause serious and costly damage to cranes including snapped ropes, broken rope guides and drum damage with the worst cases causing serious injury to operators.

Side wise is the industry leading solution to prevent side pulling occuring and protect the crane and your team for less than the cost of a rope guide

Why Side Wise?

• Electronic sensor mounted to the crane rope
• When side pulling is detected, Sidewise will only cut out the function in the direction of travel and vertical, enabling the position to be corrected
• Once corrected, all functions are immediately reengaged, speeding up production
• Electronic set up means lifting tolerances can be different in each plane (N/S vs E/W) offering flexibility for production
• Track sie pulling data via the client portal
• Receive instant alerts when sidepulling is detected.
