Length and angle sensor LWG221/3STANDARD for Grove

The LWG221/3STANDARD sensor is an electronic component designed to measure the extended length and the inclination angle of the crane boom. By providing these precise measurements, the sensor allows the load moment indicator system to calculate the safe lifting capacity of the machine in real time. This data is necessary for the crane control system to monitor stability and prevent potential overloads during operation.

This component is compatible with various Grove mobile and lattice cranes. The sensor is engineered to provide accurate feedback to the onboard safety systems, ensuring that the crane operates within its specified load charts. Proper integration of this sensor is necessary for the correct functioning of the load moment indicator.

Length and angle sensors serve as the primary input devices for crane safety systems. They track the geometric position of the boom, which is a variable in determining the maximum allowable load. By continuously monitoring these parameters, the system can alert the operator to unsafe conditions and restrict movements that could lead to instability.
