Overhead Crane Sway Control Demonstration

Casey Cummins, Controls Product Manager, demonstrates one of our exciting safety features, sway control. Sway control can be built in to our IMPULSE AC drives and significantly improves the safety, uptime and productivity of overhead cranes. Learn more at www.columbusmckinnon.com/swaycontrol

if the load is stationary and it was pushed for any reason would the crane drive to counteract it?

Our sway control is preventative, which means it predicts the pendulum swing based on the hook height, and then controls the speed of the motor to prevent sway from occurring. It won't dynamically eliminate existing sway.
