YFX‑350/80 Electro‑Hydraulic Storm Braking Wedge Brake is a dedicated wind‑proof safety device for rail‑mounted travelling cranes. It adopts electro‑hydraulic thruster as driving unit. When powered on, the electro‑hydraulic thruster pushes the mechanism to lift the wedge block away from the rail, allowing the crane to travel freely for normal operation. Once power supply fails or the crane stops working, the wedge block falls and tightly clamps the side of the rail, reliably locking the crane on the track. It effectively prevents crane drifting or running‑away accidents caused by strong wind and storm, providing critical safety guarantee for outdoor lifting equipment.
This wedge brake is designed for severe outdoor working conditions. The main frame is constructed with high‑strength cast and welded steel structure, featuring excellent impact resistance and deformation resistance. The contact wedge block is made of wear‑resistant material to maintain stable clamping force under long‑term repeated engagement, avoiding slipping on the rail surface. The whole mechanism runs reliably with sensitive action response.
Clearance between wedge block and rail can be conveniently adjusted on‑site to match different rail specifications. The overall structure is compact for easy installation. Key components are accessible for inspection, which greatly simplifies routine checking and maintenance work without heavy disassembly. It reduces equipment failure risks and lowers operating costs.
As an indispensable safety accessory for outdoor rail cranes, YFX‑350/80 electro‑hydraulic storm braking wedge brake is widely applied to gantry cranes, overhead travelling cranes and other rail‑mounted lifting machinery in ports, freight yards, open‑air workshops and material storage sites.
