CR700
AC Drives for Crane Applications

The Yaskawa CR700 is a purpose-built variable frequency drive engineered specifically for cranes, hoists, and lifting systems. Unlike general-purpose drives, the CR700 incorporates motion profiles and safety functions tailored to vertical movement—delivering high torque at low speeds, precise position holding, and smooth start/stop transitions.

Its robust design integrates advanced load swing control, brake sequencing, torque pre-control, and adaptive speed ramping to ensure smooth, safe, and reliable lifting. Whether it's a port crane, gantry hoist, or industrial lift, the CR700 handles demanding vertical applications with a focus on operator safety, payload protection, and mechanical durability.

• Anti-sway control: Minimises load swing for faster, safer lifting


• Integrated brake control: Smooth transitions with less mechanical shock


• Full torque at low speed: Maintains holding force without encoder feedback


• Dedicated crane macros: Reduces commissioning time and setup complexity
