Mine Site selects LSM Technologies Load View System on Cranes

LSM Technologies Secures First Major Order for Load and Winch Viewing Camera Solutions

LSM Technologies has received its first order to supply, install, and commission a Load and Winch Viewing Camera Solution for one of the largest mining operations in the world.

Following extensive evaluations, feedback on the system’s safety, productivity, and damage control benefits has been overwhelmingly positive. Plans are now in place to implement LSM Technologies’ Camera Viewing Solutions across all 50 cranes in the fleet during 2012.

LSM Technologies provides tailored Operator Visibility Solutions for all crane types, designed to improve safety, precision, and operational efficiency.

Lower Deck Viewing

Enhances peripheral visibility for:

• On-site and on-road travel and manoeuvring (e.g., mobile cranes)
• Winch and rear-area monitoring (e.g., luffing/tower cranes)

Load Viewing

Ensures a clear, continuous view of the hook and load at all times:

• Zoom camera mounted at the crane boom
• 216x zoom capability, night vision, and all-weather operation
• Eliminates “blind lifts” in any light conditions

Configuration Options

Our viewing solutions are designed-for-purpose and compliant with ISO 5006 / 16001 and EN13000 standards. Options include:

• Cable systems: Fixed or via cable drums
• Wireless RF communication for cranes with boom power
• Variable monitor sizes (7”, 10”, 15”) with multiple mounting options
• Zoom controls via LCD, foot switch, or hand control
• Multi-view video distribution: split, tri, quad, or picture-in-picture views
