This contractor has implemented a remotely operated tower crane. The benefit of the technology on compact, high-rise projects is improved all round visibility; the cameras eliminate blind spots and restricted views created by the building and the close proximity of the lifts to the crane’s mast.
They also provide up to 40% zoom resolution, allowing the crane operator to see areas that would typically be out of their line of sight. While safety and efficiency are the most obvious benefits, the physical working conditions for the crane operator are much improved; the cabin comprises kitchenette and welfare facilities. It is predicted that such digital machinery will inspire the next generation to consider tower crane operation as a cutting edge, technological profession.
The cutting edge technology creates safety and efficiency and better workplace environments, while also being a talking point to excite young people of new ways machinery is being operated which is relatable to their already existing skill set.
