Mobile tower cranes
The viewing problem
The tower crane is an important link in the construction process. Even though the crane operator is seated in a cabin high up in the sky, he is still not able to view his entire working area. The visibility problem gets even worse as construction progresses and starts to increasingly obstruct the operator’s view.
The Orlaco solution
The load view camera provides images of the working area and is fitted on the boom of the trolley; it is positioned in such a way that it looks vertically downwards on to the top of the hook. The monitor in the cabin ensures that the crane operator can always see every position of the hook whilst hoisting.
The camera allows the crane operator to take immediate action and, if necessary, immediately verify the instructions from the contact person on the ground. Along with increased safety and improved working conditions, the camera systems also improve efficiency as the crane operator is able to move the load to the proper location with fewer instructions from the contact person on the ground.

Applications
It is becoming increasingly necessary on large building sites that have various types of cranes working to have visibility on the rear boom. The load view monitor can be used simultaneously with a back reach camera. With just one touch of a button, the operator is able to switch between both cameras.

FAQ
With the help of a switcher, it is possible to connect three cameras to one monitor. The operator needs to just push a button to switch between the various cameras.
A quad makes it possible to view a maximum of four cameras simultaneously on one monitor. We advise you to use a 10" monitor. A screen splitter allows for viewing a maximum of two cameras at one moment. In this case, the standard 7" monitor is adequate.
Yes, a rear vision and front vision system can be extended with a navigation system. All of these three functions are then combined on a single monitor.
Yes, an existing load view vision system can be extended, (depending on the application that is needed) with a winch view, rear vision and/or front vision system.
The Orlaco camera systems for tower and lattice boom cranes can either be purchased or rented. A custom-made vision solution is available depending on the requirements of the customer.
Wireless connections are used mostly in telescope, tower and mobile tower cranes. The main reason for this is the variable distance between the camera and the monitor. A solid cable connection would be in these instances extremely vulnerable to damages due to the increased possibility of the cable breaking.
