HOISTCAM ON GRAPPLE CRANES

Grapple cranes are essential for handling bulk and irregular materials like scrap metal, waste, logs, and debris in fast-paced, high-risk environments. These operations often involve poor visibility due to load size, dust, weather conditions, or obstructed views around the grapple attachment. Without a clear line of sight, operators must rely on instinct or spotters, increasing the risk of dropped loads, equipment damage, or safety incidents. HoistCam solves this by delivering real-time video from the grapple to the operator’s cab, improving accuracy, efficiency, and safety.

HoistCam wireless camera systems are built for tough environments. They mount magnetically to the grapple arm or boom structure and transmit live video wirelessly to a monitor in the cab. This allows the operator to see directly into the loading or dumping area, accurately position the grapple, and confirm grip strength and alignment before and during each lift or dump cycle.

Used in scrapyards, port operations, forestry, waste management, and industrial recycling facilities, HoistCam helps operators work faster and with greater precision. It reduces the need for ground spotters, minimizes errors, and improves throughput by reducing cycle times.

For operations requiring oversight, the optional HoistCam Director platform allows supervisors to monitor live feeds remotely, supporting safety audits, process improvements, and incident documentation.

In demanding environments where visibility is often compromised, HoistCam transforms grapple crane operations into safer, more controlled, and more productive workflows.
