Fail-Safe Design: Ensuring Safety in Every Lift
To ensure the automatic shackle operates as a failsafe device, the load-bearing pin is mounted within a floating sub-frame. When the load is suspended, this sub-frame sinks into the main frame, securely locking the pin in place. This design makes it impossible to retract the pin while the load is suspended, ensuring reliable and safe operation.
Safe Release System: Controlled and Secure Lifting
A sensor monitors the position of the floating sub-frame, with LEDs signaling when the pin is in the neutral or “sweet spot/safe release” position. Only then will the shackle attempt to release the load, ensuring a secure and controlled operation.
Effortless Lifting: Autoclose System Explained
The autoclose system combines magnets, sensors, and ingenious engineering to make remote engagement and release of loads possible with precision and safety.
Once the shackle is aligned with the target and positioned with the lifting point, the operator can fine-tune the height by moving it slowly up and down. The autoclose system will detect when the pin aligns with the lifting point hole.
At that moment, the LEDs turn red as the automatic shackle inserts the pin into the hole.
Once fully inserted, the LEDs change to blue, indicating that the load is secured and ready for safe lifting.
Real-Time Monitoring: LED Status Indicator
The S40 automatic shackle carries a High-Brightness LED status indicator, an additional safety measure which shows the status at all times:
Easy Installation: Plug and Play Automatic Shackle
The shackle requires no installation: it is remote-controlled and powered by a removable, rechargeable battery.
Powerful and Long-lasting: Automatic Shackle Battery
(3 hour charge – 5,000 cycles/250 hours in standby mode)
- The high-capacity battery provides up to 250 hours of productivity with just a quick 3-hour charge.
- Four high-brightness LEDs keep you informed of the battery level at all times.
- The automatic shackle’s LEDs will turn white to indicate when the battery needs replacement.
Remote Control Your Lifts: Wireless Convenience
The patented S40 Automatic Shackle is fully compatible with the eMAX, eMINI, and/or eINST installable remote controls.
For optimal and safe use of the S40 Automatic Shackle, we strongly recommend pairing it with the eLink remote control device. When correctly configured, the eLink can block the crane’s vertical movement while the shackle is in transition (signaled by red LEDs), minimizing the risk of hazardous situations and potential damage to the device.
Weighing scale: Optional Load Cell Integration for safer lifting
The S40 automatic shackle can be equipped with a load cell for precise load measurements during the lifting process. Our load cells provide quick and accurate readings, offering affordability and a longer lifespan compared to other sensors. Primarily used for weighing and preventing overloads, the load cell, when combined with the remote control, transforms our automatic shackle into a sophisticated and precise weighing scale with advanced features.
