Crane Sentry® Zone Manager II

Restricted zoning/no fly zones
Dedicated relay outputs for bridge and trolley motion; slow and stop
I/O communications with machinery and processes below in the crane bay

What They’re Saying

“The programming features are by far the easiest I’ve seen for this type of system.

Our customer immediately saw the value in the system and placed one on each crane that operates in close proximity to their presses. All in all I think it’s the best system on the market if you need zone management on your crane!”

Chris Hamrick, CEO of Protek Crane Solutions LLC
