• Hoist brakes are an essential safety feature of
  overhead cranes. Designed to hold a load when the
  hoist motor is not running, these brakes reduce
  the risk of falling loads that could result in
  injury and property damage.

• This section specifies the performance
  requirements of hoist, or holding, brakes. It
  also calls for an additional control braking
  mechanism to prevent overspeeding that is, to
  prevent hoists from exceeding a predetermined
  operating speed.

  holding brake, be equipped with control braking
  means to prevent overspeeding.

• Holding brakes.
• 1. Holding brakes for hoist motors shall have not
  less than the following percentage of the full
  load hoisting torque at the point where the brake
  is applied.
• 125 percent when used with a control braking
  means other than mechanical.
• 100 percent when used in conjunction with a
  mechanical control braking means.
• 100 percent each if two holding brakes are
  provided.

  automatically when power is removed.
• 4. Where necessary holding brakes shall be
  provided with adjustment means to compensate for
  wear.
• 5. The wearing surface of all holding-brake drums
