Drivecon's LoadLock, a free feature available on all Drivecon closed loop hoist inverters, is designed to minimize the effects of operator-induced shock loading, which can result in cumulative fatigue on the crane's mechanical and structural components. By activating the LoadLock feature, the inverter will constantly monitor for a rapid increase in torque (snag load), and, if sensed, LoadLock will automatically decrease the hoist speed until the torque stabilizes and/or the load is off of the ground.
Once stabilized, the speed will resume to the original speed requested by the operator. The end result is optimized cycle time and minimized impact to the crane's traditional wear items. This feature can be especially helpful with cranes used in delicate
lifting applications and process duty environments.
