In case of rope failure, what can be installed to function?

Car arresting devices are mechanical systems specifically designed to stop a hoisting mechanism in the event of a rope failure. They serve as an essential safety feature, ensuring that the load does not fall uncontrollably. These devices are typically installed on cranes and lifts to detect when the lifting cable has snapped or failed, engaging to secure the load and bring it to a halt safely.

While safety ropes, backup engines, and auxiliary cables may provide additional support or secondary systems, they cannot replace the primary function of car arresting devices, which are specifically engineered for stopping a car or platform without relying solely on the rope. The unique design and purpose of car arresting devices make them the most appropriate solution to prevent accidents caused by rope failure in hoisting operations.
