Thruster Service Brakes
for Container Handling Port Cranes
Thruster Service brakes are installed on the high-speed side of the gearbox. Svendborg Brakes thruster disc brakes are ideal for use as service brakes in port cranes due to their high reliability, durability, and ability to handle heavy loads in demanding environments. They offer smooth and controlled braking, minimizing shock loads on the crane structure, and their fail-safe, spring-applied, and electro-hydraulic thruster-released design ensures safe operation even in power failure. Their compact design allows for easy installation in restricted space. Various optional sensors combined with the Svendborg IIoT module allows a continuous monitoring of the brake status.
