For over 90 years, the EMG ELDRO® and ELHY® brake release devices from our Safety Components division have been in use worldwide: on crane systems and container gantries in industrial ports, on conveyor belt systems in mining, and on travel, slewing, and hoisting drives on bucket wheel or coal excavators in open-cast mining. Their reliability and the continuous optimization and further development of all individual parts and assemblies guarantee the safe operation of brake systems to this day and thus form the basis for trouble-free and safe goods handling.
