Crane beacons





SMIE BG12 air-beacons for tower cranes

The air-beacons are necessary equipment for all job-sites next to:
• Airports,
• Heliports,
• Hospitals,
or other risk situations for which particular regulations are issued by the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO)

Chapter 6 of Annex 14 specifies the types of beacons and the installation constraints.

The SMIE BG12 air-beacon covers all recommendations of the ICAO.

The BG12 set comprises:

• 1 regulator unit:
- standard power supply 400V~ (others on request)
- 1 uninterrupted output for 24V= beacons
- 1 socket output for charging 24V= batteries

• 1 or more battery units, depending on the desired autonomy

• 3 beacons (or more)
The beacons comprise a low intensity red lamp giving a minimum of 10 candelas with a life time of 100’000 hours.

Each beacon is supplied with a universal fitting for easy fastening on any type of crane.

Simple and quick installation:

• For the beacons:
clamping on the jib, counter jib and crane-top.

• For the regulator/battery units:
hooking on any crane element.

On request, adaptation to any special application (uninterrupted power supply, obstacle beacons, etc.)
