Crane shoe brake

Crane shoe brake

Crane shoe brake is a type of brake that is used to control the movement of cranes. This brake consists of two shoes that are placed in pairs on both sides of a drum. The drum is directly connected to the crane shaft.

When the brake is activated, the shoes are pressed against the drum by an external force. This pressure creates friction between the shoes and the drum, and as a result, the movement of the crane is reduced.

The crane shoe brake is a powerful braking system that can safely control the movement of the crane in various conditions, including when loading and unloading.

Drum: The drum is a circular surface that the shoes press against. The drum is usually made of steel.
