A Flux Vector Drive is a special type of adjustable frequency motor control, utilizing an incremental encoder to constantly monitor the speed and direction of the motor shaft. This “closed-loop” system allows the control to know what the motor is doing at all times. Flux Vector control provides a wide range of speed and reliability in hoisting applications where no mechanical load brake is utilized.

True vertical lift is when the hook of the hoist (lower block) moves in a true vertical path between the lower limit of travel and the upper limit of travel. This happens when the rope(s), anchored at each end of the drum, winds from the center of the drum outward (inward when raising the hook); enabling the hook and load to be centered below the middle of the drum. This design prevents the hook from wandering from one end of the drum to the other in the highest and lowest hook position.

A Stacker Crane is similar to a bridge crane, except the hoist is replaced with a telescoping mast which is suspended from the bridge trolley. The mast is equipped with a load handling device such as single or double forks or a grab. Stacker Cranes can be manually operated or powered and can span multiple aisles (such as in a warehouse, etc) for easy retrieval of stored components and/or parts.
