The anti-two-block alarm system consists of
an emergency switch which when activated
prevents the hook block from being raised
to the boom nose level. The switch lights a
warning lamp on the crane operator's con-

ing the hook block to rise above the boom
hose level could cause serious damage to
the crane structure and could cause severe
personal injury.
