Load Stabilization

Brief definition: Active or structural damping of load oscillation on the crane—for fast, precise, and safe positioning.

When lifting, moving, and setting down a load, it tends to swing back and forth. This swinging wastes time, increases the risk of collisions, and puts strain on materials and equipment. Load stabilization encompasses all measures that reduce this oscillation.

A distinction is made between structural solutions (special suspensions/cable bracing) and control-system-based solutions. Scheffer relies on a specially developed cable bracing system that stabilizes the load and enables sway-free transport in all directions.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the benefits of stress relief in everyday life?

The load comes to a stop more quickly at its destination—which shortens cycle times, increases safety, and reduces the workload on the operator.

For which applications is it useful?

Anywhere where heavy or long loads need to be moved with precision—for example, in the steel trade when handling bar stock, structural steel, and sheet metal.

How does Scheffer achieve load stabilization?

Through a specially developed cable tensioning system that structurally stabilizes the load—unlike systems that rely solely on control mechanisms.
