German coupling specialist Malmedie has developed a new Evolution Torque Safety Coupling, which it displayed for the first time at TOC Europe 2023, being held this week at Rotterdam Ahoy.

The German firm has launched a new system for STS crane hoists.

German coupling specialist Malmedie has launched a new coupling, developed to dissipate the huge amounts of inertial energy in a crane’s main hoist system safely during an emergencystop when the hoist is lowering. Called the ISCC (Inertial Stress Compensating Coupling), the system acts as a ‘free wheel’ between the hoist motor and gearbox in a downwards overspeed or emergency-stop situation.

Malmedie Antriebstechnik GmbH has opened its first daughter company, Malmedie Inc. in the United States.

Faced with increasing competition, brake manufacturers are responding with new products and services.

The Snag Overload System (SOS) developed by Pintsch Bubenzer and Malmedie of Germany is now said to have been installed on 80 STS container cranes worldwide. The SOS is a non-hydraulic system, instead using a safety coupling and fast-acting braking system to protect the crane in an overload situation.
