With luffing boom cranes, the position of jib is made to go up and down while the hook is positioned in the proper location. Moving jib pulls the hook up and down or inwards and outwards. Usually, a crane operator operates the luffing boom crane directly from the operator’s cab of the crane. From this position, the operator often has limited visibility and cannot see the position of hook. As a result of not being able to see the hook or the load, the operator relies solely on the eyes of the operator’s team and crew, which can be dangerous, and reduce productivity for the entire job site.
HoistCam has been found to reduce incidents by over 90% and increase productivity by 20%+. Learn more and view the HoistCam Case Studies>>.
