ON THE COVER: Airpes has launched the Eagle, a “black box” system that monitors and logs the hoist, trolley and bridge movements of high duty cycle overhead cranes and hoists to ensure safe lifting and use within intended parameters. Its benefits include immediate protection against overload, as well as logging a variety of parameters for long term analysis. And that is just one of the more than two-dozen news items you’ll find in the extensive Industry News section of this issue. That begins on page 7, and also check out What’s New on page 41 for even more new products!
