Camera crane equipment is a beneficial tool for crawler cranes and tower to improve visibility, safety and enhance productiveness.
Here are some of the ways camera systems can be used on these crane types:
1. Enhancing productiveness: Camera crane equipment can also assist to enhance productiveness by enabling operators to work more effectively. For instance, a camera system can enable the operator to track multiple work areas or loads at once, or to work from a remote location without the requirement for a spotter.
2. Bettering communication and visibility: Camera systems along with audio can offer operators with an audio-visual view of the load they are moving, making it simpler to position this crane precisely and avoid risks or hurdles. This can assist to lessen the hazard of damage to the load, and also enhance productiveness by lessening the time required to make changes.
3. Increasing safety: Camera systems can offer enhanced sound feedback and visibility of the surroundings of the crane, including areas and blind spots that are hard to notice from the cab of the operator. This can assist to prevent collisions and accidents, specifically while working in confined or crowded spaces.
Some common camera system types that are used on crawler cranes and towers include:
1. Wireless remote camera: These cameras are mounted on remote-controlled equipment, like a mobile camera or drone, and can be used to offer a view of the areas that are hard to see from the position of the crane.
2. Hook mounted cameras: These cameras are mounted on the hook block of the crane and connect wirelessly to a monitor in the cab of the operator providing a view of the surroundings of the crane, including blind spots.
3. Book-mounted cameras: These cameras are mounted on the boom of the crane and provide a view of the surrounding area and the load.
It is vital to keep in mind that camera systems should be used as a supplement instead of a replacement for appropriate safety measures and crane operating procedures.
If an audio alert of a nearby load is necessary instead of a camera system, an ideal product should also be considered. It is an audio-visual, wireless warning system that can be rapidly and conveniently deployed to the hook block of the crane.
Once activated by the lighting team, the alert receiver emits an identifiable audio-visual signal that can be witnessed and heard by site personnel near to the load or the hook block.
Operators should always adhere to set safety guidelines and use camera systems and sun light readable monitors as an extra tool to enhance productiveness and safety.
Any object can activate these readable monitors. Most of these monitors are less costly and needs less migration to apply but are restricted to a single touch.
