Restricted Travel Areas Prevent Overhead Cranes, Hoists From Colliding With Fixed Structures
Ideally, every overhead crane and hoist would have a wide-open, unimpeded travel path throughout an entire facility. In reality, however, that’s rarely the case.

To enhance safety, restricted travel areas prevent overhead cranes and hoists from colliding with these fixed structures.
