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

1. 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.
2. The Limit Switch is a safety feature designed to cut off power in case of an overload during both upward and downward movements. This action helps protect the hoist and chain from damage by stopping the motor.

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

Connected in series to a motor circuit, a current-driven electromagnetic brake does not release unless the motor is energized. This concurrent drive increases safety of the circuit compared to separate circuits for the motor and the brake.

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