REMOTE AIR/HYDRAULIC BRIDGE BRAKE CONVERSION KIT

The Telemotive RC-EAH-1 AC and DC Air/Hydraulic Bridge Brake Conversion Kit makes it possible to operate a hydraulic foot pedal type of bridge brake remotely by radio or pendant. This type of control, similar to automotive braking, is generally acknowledged to offer more sensitive bridge braking than does an electric bridge brake.
Automatic braking for the bridge motion of an overhead traveling crane becomes essential when converting a crane from cab operation to radio remote control or pendant. Without automatic braking, a loss of power would allow the crane to coast to a stop, proving hazardous in certain conditions.
Implementing the Telemotive remote bridge brake conversion kit from Berlet will provide the same braking capability from the floor as is available from the cab. Our remotely controlled air/hydraulic brake package will interface with any existing hydraulic brake system when converting any Electric Overhead Traveling crane to radio remote or pendant control.
The Telemotive remote controlled brake system features an automatic service brake mode which is controlled by bridge movement and a ‘power-off’ emergency brake mode. Either the service brake or emergency brake can also be controlled by operator command if required. Both control modes are field adjustable for optimum brake operation on the crane. Brake pressures are constant after initial startup and installation. The only other adjustment is monitoring proper brake shoe adjustments.
Telemotive also offers two alternate control mechanisms. First, by adding a third solenoid, 3-step radio controlled braking is available. Second, by replacing the service brake solenoid with a proportional transducer, radio-controlled proportional braking of the crane is available.
Any existing manual hydraulic brake system can easily be converted to the Telemotive remote-controlled brake package by installing the pre-engineered and pre-assembled control panel and compressor assembly on the crane bridge and interconnecting the necessary additional hydraulic tubing and electrical wiring. The remote-controlled system must also have a brake fluid bleeder/reservoir. If this bleeder/reservoir is not used with the existing manual brake system, it must be included as part of the new remote control package.
If the crane you are considering converting to radio remote control has a hydraulic brake, regardless of manufacturer, you can confidently rely on Berlet’s experienced engineers to assist you ... and at a cost far less than anywhere else in the marketplace.
