Construction sites can be classified as ticking time bombs. A slight error, miscalculation, and lapse in concentration can result in an accident that can damage or destroy on-site equipment and structures, and can even wound and fatally hurt the construction workers present on site.
Out of all the heavy equipment used on a construction site, a crane is one such piece of equipment that has been responsible for many deaths in the past. According to a report published by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), 90% of all crane-related deaths are a direct result of human error, with falling debris and improper load maneuvering being the leading causes of these deaths. Thus, it is the need of the hour to implement proper safety standards and restrictions, and making use of technology to decrease the probability of such occurrences.
Product Overview
The HoistCamTM Low Profile (HC-140) is the perfect solution to make crane operation convenient and safe. This particular piece of equipment comes in a rugged storage case to ensure easy transportation and rapid on-site deployment. The magnetic mounting capability is standard to the HoistCamTM Low Profile (HC-140), allowing it to be seamlessly attached to the crane’s hook block, with a lanyard also present to better secure the camera and video transmission box on to the crane’s frame. The camera is equipped with a wide-angle lens to capture a bigger picture in a single frame, which is transmitted to the 9.7-inch display in the operator’s cabin, granting more situational awareness to the crane operator. The camera is also weather-proof, making crane operation in harsh weather conditions possible. The camera is also fitted with infrared illuminators to make crane operation during low light conditions possible, especially during the night.
Features
- Weather-proof camera
- Wide-angle lens
- 7-inch display with night vision
- Rugged storage case for easy transportation
- Magnetic mounting capability along with a safety lanyard
Benefits
- Better Directional Sense
This piece of camera equipment allows the crane operator to have a better directional sense, even when they are a long distance away from the action. It also provides the crane operator with more situational awareness to better monitor the on-ground situation, and to pinpoint anything which might have been overlooked.
- A Clearer Picture in the Dark
The night vision function present in the HoistCamTM Low Profile (HC-140) makes crane operation in low lighting conditions, especially during the night, easy and seamless. The infrared illuminators make the area in and around the load light up, allowing the operator to easily manage and move the load being carried. This grants builders and construction workers more time and flexibility to make sure that the project is completed on time.
- Reduced Dependency
Mounting the camera on to the hook block of the crane allows the crane operator to monitor the load being carried, as if they were looking through the eyes of the on-ground workers themselves. This reduces the dependency of the crane operator on the on-ground workers in terms of asking for directions, frequency if communication, and relying on their judgment.
