Anti collision Device for tower Crane

Description

Enhancing Tower Crane Safety with Anti-Collision Devices (ACDs)

In India’s fast-growing urban landscape, construction sites often operate multiple tower cranes in close proximity. This increases the risk of collisions—posing a serious threat to worker safety and project timelines. That’s where Anti-Collision Devices (ACDs) come in as a game-changer for tower crane operations.

What is an Anti-Collision Device?

An Anti-Collision Device is an intelligent electronic system installed on tower cranes to prevent crane-to-crane and crane-to-structure collisions. These devices use GPS, radio communication, and sensor-based technology to monitor crane movement and provide alerts or automatic controls to avoid hazardous situations.

Why Are ACDs Crucial Today?

Cities like Mumbai, Delhi NCR, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Pune, and Chennai are experiencing vertical growth with numerous high-rise buildings and infrastructure projects. At many of these sites, multiple cranes operate simultaneously. Without ACDs, crane operators rely solely on line-of-sight and communication, which is not always reliable in complex environments.

Cangraft: Smart Solutions for Safer Cranes

Companies like Cangraft, based in Pune, are addressing this need with smart, reliable ACDs designed specifically for Indian site conditions. Their ACD units are already deployed at several project sites in Ahmedabad, Kolkata, Lucknow, Indore, and Kochi, offering safety assurance to contractors and developers.

Key Benefits of ACDs in Tower Cranes:

• Real-time monitoring and alerts

• Automatic crane halting or speed control

• Avoidance of costly accidents and site delays

• Compliance with modern safety regulations

• Improved operator confidence and efficiency

Where to Use Them?

ACDs are ideal for:

• Multi-crane construction sites

• Urban infrastructure projects (metros, bridges, data centers)

• High-rise residential and commercial buildings

Whether you’re working on a metro project in Nagpur, a skyscraper in Gurgaon, or a tech park in Noida, deploying ACDs should be a part of your crane safety checklist.
