BRAKE ASSEMBLY FOR SECURING A CONVEYOR DEVICE, CONVEYOR DEVICE AND CRANE SYSTEM
The invention relates to a brake assembly (1) for securing a conveyor device, in particular a crane system (100), comprising a first brake device (7) which acts on a first drive element (3), a second brake device (8) which acts on a second drive element (5), a transmission device (4), in particular a gearbox, acting between the first and second drive element, a load sensor (13, 13′) which detects a load signal and passes same on to a controller (9), and the controller (9) is designed in such a way that, based on a load signal that exceeds an overload threshold, it initiates an emergency brake status and actuates the first and the second brake device (7, 8) in such a way that they act on the first and second drive element (3, 5) simultaneously within a first brake acting time, wherein one of the first and second brake devices is designed such that it acts on the first and/or the second drive element within a second brake acting time in a normal brake status, and the first brake acting time is shorter than the second brake acting time.

Non-Frangible Load Release Assembly
A non-frangible load release assembly having a pre-set tension for release is presented. The load release assembly comprises a snap shackle having a quick release and a link, a spring having a spring rate, and an actuating line with a length selected based on the spring rate to provide the pre-set tension for the load release assembly. The spring is attached to the link of the snap shackle. The actuating line is connected to the quick release of the snap shackle.

Cable tension overload fuse assembly
A cable tension overload fuse assembly is configured to couple together a structural support cable operatively coupled to a structural support, and a net barrier cable supporting barrier netting. The cable tension overload fuse assembly includes a mechanical fuse and a rescue cable coupled to the structural support cable and the net barrier cable. The mechanical fuse is configured to break upon exertion of a predetermined force to allow the net barrier cable to sag to reduce forces transmitted to the structural support and prevent damage to it, while the rescue cable continues to couple together the structural support cable and the net barrier cable to prevent the net barrier and/or net barrier or net barrier cable from falling completely to the ground without the structural support cable and cable tension overload fuse assembly.

Monitoring system and method
A hoist lifting system having planning and monitoring of components. The system monitors one or more components and may have a processing structure and memory storing instructions to configure the processing structure to: receive hoist machine data; determine a rotation speed of a bearing, a travel speed of a rope, a load on the bearing, a friction in the at least one bearing based on the hoist machine data; and store the rotation speed, the travel speed, the load, and the friction in a maintenance database in memory. The hoist lifting system may have the processing structure determine a wear of one or more components.

Abseiling device
The invention relates to an abseiling device comprising a bidirectionally rotatable guiding arrangement (25) for guiding a pulling means (26); further comprising a braking mechanism (30) that is coupled to the guiding arrangement (25); a driving means (34; 35) can be connected to the guiding arrangement (25) so as to actuate the guiding arrangement (25). In order to create an abseiling device that prevents an individual from being injured or parts of the abseiling device from being damaged during rescue operations in particular of people, a mechanical torque limiter (33) decouples the driving means (34; 35) and the guiding arrangement (25) or the pulling means (26) when the torque exceeds a certain threshold value.
