Safety is the most important concern in Tornborgs building hoists. They are designed and built according to European standard EN-12159 as well as ANSI A10.4.

A phase sequence failure relay prevents the cage from running unless the phase connection is correct. It also stops the cage immediately upon the loss of a phase. Cutoff bars and limit switches stop the cage automatically in the top and bottom positions.

SAFETY BRAKE
The Tornborgs catching device is one of the most reliable on the market. It intervenes in the event of overspeed in any direction, and arrests the cage smoothly by means of heavy duty brake shoes, which act directly onto the mast legs and not on the rack. The open design is also very easy to inspect.

TOP RUN-OVER SWITCH
There is a separate top run-over switch for extra safety during erection.

OVERLOAD SENSING DEVICE
Full proof device which senses actual load by load cell in connection pins between machinery and hoist cage.
