Puts driver in the picture
February 1st 2007

Cranesafe, a provider of anti-collision and zoning systems for cranes, has been appointed by Orlaco as its UK distributor of Load View Camera Systems.

Tim Rowley, MD, says "The obvious advantage of the Load View Camera System is safety, as the driver can look down exactly onto his hook.

He is often unsighted from his hook and totally reliant upon instructions from his banksman. While a camera would never be intended to reduce the responsibility of the banksman, it is a great additional safety feature." A 7 or 10in LCD in the cab is linked to an auto-focus zoom camera.
