Tower Crane Upgrades: Inverters, Sensors and Remote Monitoring

Since 1981, RMA has been active in tower crane rental, sales, and technical services in Israel, with a strong emphasis on innovation and safety. RMA is not just a company that provides cranes – it has long invested in enhancing cranes and improving their technological systems and improving their technological systems.

Technological Upgrades for Cranes: RMA’s engineering department has initiated and developed unique upgrades for tower cranes and construction cranes, many of which have been adopted by crane manufacturers worldwide. Early in RMA’s journey, the market faced a constant shortage of critical spare parts such as control boxes for slewing, hoisting, and trolleys. RMA was a pioneer in the field, introducing upgrades to outdated systems based on contactors and brake coils, replacing them with new frequency drive (inverter) systems. The extensive knowledge and experience accumulated over the years place RMA among the technology-focused companies in the tower crane industry, enabling the company to provide advanced solutions for all types of drives (hoisting, slewing, and trolley), significantly improving safety and enabling easier, more cost-effective maintenance.

Crane Safety: In an era where safety has become a central issue in the construction industry, RMA carries out upgrades that raise the level of safety in crane operations. The technological enhancements made by RMA include, among others, the replacement of outdated control systems with advanced frequency drive-based systems, which shut the motor down in the event of a cooling-system failures, the addition of sensors to check brake engagement, and more. All these measures aim to reduce maintenance costs and ease the work of crane operators.

Long-Term Developments for Cranes: RMA invests heavily in developments aimed at optimizing crane operations on construction sites and minimizing downtime in the event of a malfunction. An example of this is the launch of remote fault detection systems that RMA developed in collaboration with Potain. These systems offer tremendous advantages in fast and safe maintenance but require significant changes to cranes and advanced technical knowledge. RMA offers solutions tailored to the Israeli and global markets, including remote monitoring of faults, computerized limitation systems, and more.

Collision Prevention Systems for Cranes: With the implementation of new guidelines from the Ministry of Labor regarding crane restrictions, RMA installs computerized limitation systems based on dedicated software and sensors. These systems ensure efficient and precise crane limitations while maximizing work area efficiency.
