OPERATOR ASSISTANCE DEVICES Ӏ SECTOR REPORT
SuppoRT SYSTEMS
At the heart of a crane is the operator and there is an array of devices to help them do their job safely and efficiently. The fast-moving nature of the sector, however, sees companies innovating to remain ahead of the game. Christian Shelton reports.
As technology designed to assist the crane operator evolves we’re seeing both crane manufacturers and independent equipment specialists update and diversify their portfolios – expanding into different but complementary areas. Take French company AMCS
Technologies, for example. It is best-known in the industry for its range of crane zoning and anti- collision systems. The company, however, has
now extended its ‘construction site safety’ focus with the launch of its own crane camera. Video cameras for cranes play a
key role in ensuring operator safety and preventing on-site damage, saving money and time, says AMCS. As such they have proven themselves a crucial asset and an essential aid for operators.
“As supplier of safety solutions
for job sites it is therefore logical that we have launched a new high resolution video camera, the Cam 61, which we believe is the ideal solution for construction and industrial applications looking for innovative solutions,” says the company’s sales director, Radoine Bouajaj. According to AMCS, the
Cam 61 offers optimum vision for lifting operations thanks to a
number of attributes. It is fast and provides a clear image. There is no lag or delay in the video signal and a 36x optical and 16x digital zoom block means the operator can zoom in to really see what they are doing. These factors all help reduce operator stress, AMCS points out. All video functions are fully and intuitively customisable so operators can set it up the way they like.
