Safer Work with Cameras for Compact Machinery
Backup cameras were initially a popular option for larger machinery such as wheel loaders, dump trucks and excavators. The size of this machinery creates blind spots, which can be brought into view by cameras. Camera solutions are now becoming increasingly popular for compact machinery due to the significant safety improvements they bring to construction sites. Improved Comfort and Safety A camera and monitor system ensures that operators have a clear view of the rear of the machinery, allow...

Front view for wheel loaders
The bucket of wheel loaders and shovels in many situations, cause blind spots and the view to be limited from the operator’s cabin. This situation results in the driver working based on the view above, below, left or right of the body, in addition to the bucket that creates enormous blind spots. Blind spots Blind spots create dangerous situations around the vehicle. People standing in front of the body or passing by the vehicle, while the machine is still or in operation, the views are o...

Cameras and Radars Are Worth Their Weight in Gold in Russian Mega-Mine
Gold mines are among the most challenging working environments in the world. They are places where huge mining vehicles brave harsh conditions every day. This is why PJSC Polyus equips all of its vehicles in the vast Russian Olimpiada mine with cameras, radar and monitors. It is the heart of winter in the middle of nowhere, 310 miles (500 kilometers) north of the city of Krasnoyarsk in Siberia. It is 49 degrees Fahrenheit below zero (-45°C) and snow is falling, but this won't hold back the hu...

Rear and sideview for excavators
The design of an excavator and the working position of the arm often cause significant limitation of the field of vision to the right and rear of the machine. A reversing camera and a side view camera on your excavator mean that you can be sure you will be able to reverse more safely, and you will have a better view on the right of the machine. In addition to connecting them to a robust Orlaco monitor, it is also possible to connect the cameras to a third-party onboard information display...
