Maintaining safety is the most important task for lifting equipment, and is essential for stable operation. To ensure safety, KITO utilizes a triple safety mechanism consisting of

1. an originally developed electronic overload limiter and friction clutch and upper-lower limit switch. When the inverter detects an overload, the electronic overload limiter turns off the power to the motor to stop lifting the load.
2. The friction clutch is an emergency overload protection device that idles the motor when subjected to an excessive load over the rated capacity. Friction clutch performance is not easily compromised with changes in the surrounding temperature. In the case of irregular loading, this operates in advance to prevent the hoist body or load chain from being damaged.
3. In the event that a load is lifted or lowered excessively, the limit switch stops the motor, preventing hoist or load chain damage. (Not reqular use)

To prevent the motor from burning out due to excessive usage, a standard thermal protector is installed in the inverter.

With a rotor and pull rotor incorporated in the motor, this is a cone type drum brake which is released at the time of operation. When the power is shut off, the brake is activated, ensuring safety.

The emergency stop, provided as standard, allows the motor power to be disconnected in an emergency without cutting off the main power supply.
