Syracuse


recently installed a prototype of its automated lifting system on a flat top tower crane in Tel Aviv


to operate inside the cab in a calm way. In bad conditions, such as rain, snow or storms, we can work safely and improve our working environment.” Like Ungefroren, he believes this may help bring new people to the industry, and suggests this may increase the number of female operators.


OFFICE-BASED OPERATING Hiab’s HiVision moves the operator from standing controls to the cab. While the vehicle cab may be more comfortable than any other position on a crane, an office is for many people an even more appealing working environment. But can controls be moved away from the crane entirely? That’s certainly the case in


the port crane industry. With high speed data transfer, it is now increasingly possible to work on cranes from far longer distances. Liebherr offers two services


j promises to make it easier to


recruit new staff. He says, “I think that the advantages of HiVision are best represented by the safety and comfort of the operator, the increased payload, and above all the attractive work environment. This is important, because I believe


that in order to attract young people and new employees, the work environment must become more appealing.” Tadashi Hatakeyama of Furusato Mokuzai Logistics in Japan, makes a similar point, saying, “The big advantage of HiVision is being able


Syracuse uses


LiDAR from InnovizOne to create point maps of the area below the crane


that suggest how long distance communications may make crane installation and operation more efficient. Currently, port crane manufacturers like Liebherr must send service staff around the world to assist with and supervise crane installation. During the height of the pandemic, the company was due to deliver two harbour mobile cranes to Campana in Argentina. Normally, expert engineers from Rostock would fly out to the port, and supervise the crane’s
