ElectroMech provides anti-sway systems in its cranes which ensure that cranes can work at high travel speeds without worrying about load swinging dangerously.

  In terms of technology, the past few years have seen quite a bit of influence from international markets. As a result, direct drive motors and VFDs have become more common and customers are accepting and asking for this technology, moving away from what was the norm for decades. Superior control methodologies in terms of accuracy, repeatability and efficiency in the market can also be seen today. Advanced mechanisms and use of electrical sensors, invertors help ensure safety while using these equipment.

Breakthrough technology
The common trend in the MHE industry is towards increasing automation, enhancing productivity and maximising safety. Tushar Mehendale, Managing Director, ElectroMech Material Handling Systems says, “A lot of innovations are taking place to develop equipment specifically to one sub-sector of a particular industry and in turn provide highly customised solutions for very niche requirements.”

Positive impacts
Customers are inclined towards technology that is efficient, faster, safer and cost–effective. As the production processes gets more evolved and with increased exposure of the Indian MHE manufacturers to the modern manufacturing techniques and global best practices, there is a definite shift towards adoption of newer technologies for infrastructure sector as well.

Mehendale says, “We keep ourselves ahead of the technology curve by working closely with our clients to develop solutions that not only address their present requirements, but also foresee their needs in the future.”
ElectroMech’s offering
“At ElectroMech we have always been adopting latest technologies as available in the market and setting these as standard features to our products. Technologies like radio remote controls are now our standard offerings across all of our cranes. This offers a substantial increase in flexibility for the crane operator as well as safer operations as the operator needn’t remain under the crane. In addition, the need for the festooning system along the crane girder is negated, allowing the cranes to remain lighter as well as neater,” says Mehendale. 

ElectroMech provides anti-sway systems in its cranes which ensure that cranes can work at high travel speeds without worrying about load swinging dangerously. This in turn helps the customers in significantly ramping up their productivity at less maintenance, lower risk of accidents, lower operator fatigue, lower cycle times and lower energy costs.

ElectroMech is the India partner for Germany-based ABUS Crane Systems for their entire range of standardised hoists and cranes. It also has a tie-up with Stahl Crane Systems GmbH, Germany, which is the global player in Explosion-Protection Technology for providing explosion-protected cranes and hoists in India for the oil and gas segment. To meet the growing demand for tower cranes in the Infrastructure and construction industry in India, ElectroMech has entered into JV partnership with Zoomlion which is one of the largest tower crane manufacturing company in the world.

Latest innovation
Innovation plays pivotal role in improving productivity in manufacturing. At the core of all the products are technology and (R&D) efforts which are directed towards futuristic technology that will change the face of engineering.

“ElectroMech continuously innovates to upgrade its existing product range and is working on bringing in new solutions to the market with an aim to cater to its clients’ requirements. The company has some innovative product launches lined-up for the current financial year,” concludes Mehendale.
