Keeping Your Site Secure

When working on high-rise buildings or complex infrastructure projects, tower cranes are indispensable. However, their towering presence also brings a critical responsibility—safety. At Cangraft Equipment Pvt. Ltd., we understand that even the most advanced cranes must be equipped with proper safety systems to protect both personnel and assets.

🛠️ Essential Safety Devices for Tower Cranes

1. Anti-Collision Devices (ACD)
With multiple cranes operating on a site, the risk of collision increases. ACDs prevent interference by monitoring position, movement, and load data, automatically applying restrictions to avoid accidents.

2. Safe Load Indicators (SLI)
Also known as Load Moment Indicators, these systems monitor the weight being lifted and alert the operator if it exceeds safe limits—preventing tipping and structural failure.

3. CCTV Monitoring Systems
Modern cranes feature onboard cameras to provide operators with full visibility—especially for blind spots and remote lifting zones. This enhances precision and safety.

4. Wind Speed Sensors (Anemometers)
Sudden gusts of wind can destabilize a crane. Wind speed sensors alert operators when weather conditions are unsafe for lifting operations.

5. Aviation Warning Lights
To prevent airborne collisions, aviation lights are installed on cranes exceeding certain heights, ensuring compliance with civil aviation norms.

6. Biometric Access Control
To prevent unauthorized usage, Cangraft offers biometric or RFID-based systems that restrict crane access only to certified operators.

7. Limit Switches and Emergency Systems
Height, load, and rotation limit switches prevent the crane from exceeding preset parameters. Emergency stop buttons give operators instant control in critical moments.

8. Communication Systems
Clear communication is vital. Integrated radios or intercoms allow operators to stay in constant touch with riggers and ground teams.

đź§° Why It Matters

Accidents involving tower cranes can be catastrophic—causing loss of life, project delays, and legal consequences. Implementing modern safety systems helps:

  • Reduce human error

  • Increase operational efficiency

  • Meet DGMS and BIS safety compliance standards

  • Protect your workforce and investment
