Message: [QUOTE="BillSU, post: 3257315, member: 6809"] Answered my own question Crane cameras make jobsites safer, more productive and are a critical aid to operators, according to the makers of these devices. Camera systems on cranes used to be considered bells and whistles. But once operators see the benefits of these “extra eyes,” cameras have become critical operator aids.

This increases the confidence and reliability of the operator when performing the lift and during all phases of a crane’s mobilization, operation and demobilization. zoom inzoom out “Netarus camera systems, such as HoistCam, make lifts safer by providing the operator with direct line of site of the load and of people and equipment around them including the riggers,” said Christopher Machut, chief technology officer, Netarus. “A crane operator with the aid of a safety camera system such as HoistCam can see the rigger on the ground and the area around the load - especially in blind lift situations. This increases the confidence and reliability of the operator when performing the lift and during all phases of a crane’s mobilization, operation and demobilization.” Machut said these tasks can include: [LIST] [*]Verifying if the area is clear of obstructions and personnel. [*]Verifying if the load is properly attached to the hook block. [*]Improving communication with the crane operator and rigger. [*]Increasing accuracy of load placements and therefore increasing the speed and completion of the lift. [/LIST] When an operator is able to see more on the jobsite, he or she becomes more confident in the lift, said Machut, thus improving productivity. :) . [/QUOTE]
