Profile

Robway, a leading manufacturer of safe load and line tension monitoring instrumentation, has been servicing the construction, mining and offshore industries for over 30 years. Our worldwide network of distributors provide excellent service and support for their range of innovative and operator-friendly equipment.
The increasing need for preventative maintenance, maximum productivity and safety in the crane and associated industries has led to substantial demand, resulting in sustained growth. Our products continue to perform in the harshest of environments and under the most extreme conditions, leaving Robway with a solid reputation for quality and reliability.
Intrinsically-safe rated capacity indicator for hazardous zones
The Robway RCI-4100IS is an intrinsically-safe rated capacity indicator specifically designed for offshore pedestal cranes operating in hazardous areas, providing the operator with an in-cabin display clearly indicating safe working load and actual load, in reference to the manufacturers’ charts. The RCI-4100IS also provides the operator with other operational data, such as boom length, angle and radius. It has the following features:

Certified to IECEx Class 1, Zone 1 and ATEX Class 1,
Zone 1 standards
Automatic gross over-moment protection (AGOP) / manual gross over-moment protection (GOP) facilities
Restricted multiple slew-zone monitoring facility
Hook height / position-monitoring facility
Wind speed indication facility
Anti-two-block (ATB) facility with open/short circuit detection feature
Historical data logging including overload history
Extensive memory capacity
Self-diagnostic fault-finding
Simplified calibration techniques

Anchor winch monitoring systems
The Robway anchor winch monitoring system is a single-graphic display providing line tension, line-out and line-speed data for multiple winches simultaneously. Minimum and maximum limits can be preset by the operator with audible and visual alarm warnings where limits are exceeded.
Our wide range of winch monitoring configurations provide options for anchor positioning, winch tension / line out, marine towline operations, multiple sensor applications, bollard pull testing and industry-proven external sensors. Features of the Robway winch monitoring system include the following:

Multi-purpose displays
Backlit for night operation
Unlimited number of inputs of tension, speed and line out
Industry-proven external sensors
Data logging options
Designed for ease of operation and service
Environmentally tested for all conditions
Satellite communication facility
Worldwide support
Keypad for operator ID code
Pre-set and user-selectable limits

Anti-two-block operator warning system
Two blocking occurs when a hook block or hoist line attachment contacts the boom or fly jib head. Robway’s ATB systems provide a simple retrofit solution to prevent a two-blocking condition. A suspended switch assembly at the head of the boom provides a motion-cut output preventing overhoist.
Robway switches are compatible and interchangeable with almost any crane and can be used with alarm modules or with various system displays.
Data management systems
Data logging is standard on all of Robway’s automatic rated capacity indicator systems. We have successfully completed a number of projects where the ability to download the data via radio to a remote control centre was a prime objective.
Our standard datalogging feature provides vital management information relating to how the equipment is being operated. Our customers have found this of great benefit when assessing safety issues and determining preventive maintenance schedules. Software to record, sort and display information relative to efficiency (individual/cumulative lifts), is available upon request.
Special applications
Whilst Robway has standard systems, we recognise the need to "look outside the square" when it comes to assessing customer needs and expectations. We are proud of our flexibility in terms of product capability and our attitude towards system design.
Using this approach, we have been extremely successful in assisting our customers to design and implement hardware and software combinations to satisfy their requirements. If you have a project which you feel has not been adequately covered on our web page, please let us know and we will be delighted to discuss your requirements with you.
