Handling system

Control stations are industrial housings for either single or multiple push buttons and associated pilot lights. A control station with one button will have a singular purpose (emergency stop) whereas those with more than one button will multiple functions (start/stop). Some may even contain joysticks for controlling cranes, hoists or other equipment. Housings again could have an IP rating for weatherproofing or waterproofing of internal switches, and be used in a variety of temperature ranges from very cold to very hot. Some control switches may feature locking mechanisms to prevent activation of a push button. Giovenzana produces a wide range of pendant station fit for controlling overhead travelling cranes, cranes and lifting machines. All pendant stations have protection grade IP65, which allows its use in locations with heavy humidity conditions, or where dust could compromise it.
