THE CROSBY GROUP UPGRADES CROSBY BLOKCAM CRANE CAMERA SYSTEMS
T
he Crosby Group has upgraded its range of Crosby BlokCam crane camera systems, including
battery improvements. The updates extend the legacy
of the original X2 and M3 systems, which have enhanced load handling in several sectors, mainly in construction and renewable energy. The X2 is a modular system compatible with tower cranes, while the M3 is a modular camera for telescopic and mobile cranes, which can be installed in five minutes.
“The upgraded system is better,
faster, and smarter - improving safety and reliability. The BlokCam product range has been an excellent addition to the Crosby family and is a standout innovator in the portfolio, as recognised by LEEA [Lifting Equipment Engineers Association] giving us its Best Innovation Award last year. We are proud to bring these ongoing generational improvements to our growing customer base,” said Thomas Dietvorst, director, Technology Solutions division, The Crosby Group. The Crosby Group has unveiled a
series of additions and enhancements, including a new version of the X2 and M3. Most of the benefits are shared
product. Key comparisons between the lighter lithium-ion and NiCAD are a longer battery life, four-and- a-half hour’s recharge versus eight, and a charger versus a docking station. The lithium-ion battery also boasts a light-emitting diode (LED) to indicate charging status. Following its acquisition of
BlokCorp in 2021, The Crosby Group has leveraged its global outreach to position Crosby BlokCam close to the point of use through its network of channel partners. “We are thrilled to see more and more of our end users and distributors experience first-hand the benefits of the quality, ease of use, and modularity of the Crosby BlokCam systems. In addition to construction and renewables, which are widely regarded as the technology’s pioneering markets, we see continued adoption in
between the two systems, such as a new transmitter that can connect to up to two sensors upon request; a repeater that comes with ball joint mount (reducing the ports required); new sensor with integrated audio and video plug; and assembly with an improved Wi-Fi signal. X3L and M3L versions are also
available with a lithium-ion battery and charger, compared to the NiCAD (nickel- cadmium) battery with the standard
transportation, offshore construction, nuclear, rail, mooring, and others. These products have delivered clear enhancement of load handling everywhere they’ve been used, and the user benefits are highly improved,” added Dietvorst.
X3L, M3L, and an upgrade package,
are currently available to order from The Crosby Group’s global distributor network. ●
