What is a crane?

Crane is written in English as "crane" and originally means "crane", and it is said that the name comes from the fact that it resembles the crane. It is a machine that lifts and carries huge and heavy objects that cannot be lifted by human power, and is also called a "crane". In the safety regulations for cranes, etc., a crane is defined as a mechanical device that meets the following two conditions, other than mobile cranes and derricks.

Lifting the load using power (not including those by human power)

Mechanical equipment for the purpose of transporting this horizontally (including those by human power)

Therefore, the mechanical device that only lifts the load is not a crane, and the mechanical device that lifts the load manually is not included in the crane even if the horizontal movement of the load is performed by power. On the other hand, if the load is lifted by power, the horizontal movement of the load is included in the crane even if it is done manually. (Source: Crane Knowledge | Japan Crane Association )

Crane type

There are various types of cranes depending on the application, but here are some typical ones.

Truck crane

It is a vehicle-mounted crane equipped with a small crane device between the truck bed and the driver's cab. It is used for lifting luggage less than 3 tons. The other is a tow truck type that reinforces the chassis of the truck and attaches a crane. It is used to move a car that has caused a traffic accident.

Rough terrain crane

It is a type of self-propelled crane, and is classified as a large special vehicle because it can be driven and operated in one driver's seat. Also known as a "rough terrain crane". While it is more compact and has a smaller turn than a truck crane, it can run on a slightly rough road because it is four-wheel steering. In addition, since the boom and vehicle are driven by a single engine, there is no need to change the driver's seat when driving and maneuvering a crane, and workability is excellent.

Overhead traveling crane

A crane that runs on a runway along the walls on both sides of the building, and is called an "overhead crane" because it is installed near the ceiling. Even if it is installed outdoors, a crane with the same structure and shape is called an overhead crane. Types include "club trolley type overhead crane", "hoist type overhead crane", and "steelmaking overhead crane".

Jib crane

A bridge crane is a crane that has legs on both ends of an overhead crane and travels on the ground. It is called a "bridge crane" because it has a bridge-like shape. It is an easy-to-install crane that can easily lift and move relatively lightweight luggage. There are "low floor jib crane", "tower type jib crane" and so on.

Bridge crane

A bridge crane is a crane that has a bridge shape with leg-shaped saddles attached to both legs of an overhead crane, and runs on rails on the ground with the wheels on the saddles of both legs. It is often used outdoors without ceilings or walls. It is divided according to the structure of the trolley, and there are "hoist type", "club trolley type", "mouth crane type", "man trolley type", and in addition to the "swivel man trolley type" that uses a swivel man trolley for the trolley, instead of the trolley, There is also a "retract crane type" or "jib crane type bridge type" with a retractable crane or a low-floor jib crane.

Unloader

It is a specialized crane that unloads loose objects such as iron ore and coal from a ship, and is roughly divided into a bridge crane type and a retractable crane type. Similar to the bridge crane, there are various types of bridge crane type unloaders such as "club trolley type", "rope trolley type", "mantrol trolley type", and "swivel man trolley type". Most of them are "formulas".

Cable crane

It is a type of crane in which a trolley runs on a wire rope stretched between support towers at specific intervals. Cable cranes include fixed cable cranes that are fixed to both towers, one-sided cable cranes that run only one tower, and two-sided cable cranes that run both towers. It is used for dam construction and river repair.

Telpher

A crane that only lifts and lowers loads and moves laterally along rails. It is used for transporting small-scale materials and products in factories and warehouses, and is widely used because it is simple and easy to handle.

Stacker type crane

It has a fork that moves up and down along an upright guide frame, and is used for loading and unloading loads on shelves such as warehouses.

Working with a crane

A crane is basically a machine that plays an active role in aerial work such as lifting, but when it comes to aerial work, the visibility of the operator is inevitably poor. If there was an auxiliary camera there, wouldn't it be quite efficient for the operator?

Barriers to introducing back cameras due to the nature of the crane

However, it is also a fact that it is difficult to install a camera because the arms and hooks of a crane are moving and long due to the nature of the crane. Because most of the back cameras in the world are wired, and the monitor and the camera are connected by a cord. So why not just connect wireless? I think so. Such a wireless camera also has a blind spot. Many of the wireless cameras on the market claim to be wireless, but they require power supply work for the camera, and in the end, wiring work is required. In other words, wiring work is required to fetch the power supply for the camera. Nevertheless, it is also necessary to secure the transmission distance of the vertical radio waves between the monitor and the camera. This is quite unrealistic, isn't it? So is it necessary to give up such an auxiliary camera?

TCI's CRANE CAMERA

No, that's not the case. A camera that does not require wiring work and is completely wireless, yet has a sufficient transmission distance.

That is TCI's CRANE CAMERA.

TCI's CRANE CAMERA series CRANE CAMERA series is wireless and does not require camera power supply work. This is because the camera is attached with a "magnet".

You who thought, "Well, if it's a magnet, it will fall off right away?"

The CRANE CAMERA series uses two neodymium magnets, which are particularly cooperative magnetic forces among many magnets. Even if an adult man pulls it with considerable force, it will not come off.

And it has passed the vibration resistance test 20,000 times without difficulty, so there is no worry of falling off due to vibration. (Reference: [Latest version] Forklift accident cases and safety management) , so it is perfectly compatible with cranes. There was a past that I actually installed it on a rough terrain crane, and there was no problem in checking the operation. As mentioned above, since it is installed with a magnet, there is no need to call a contractor for installation work, and there is no associated wage.

As a reference, the general wired back camera installation wages are listed.

・ 2t truck around 30,000 yen + business trip cost ・ 4t truck around 45,000 yen + business trip cost ・ Heavy equipment and special vehicles around 50,000 yen + business trip cost Since this is the amount for one installation, wages will be incurred when removing it. .. On the other hand, the CRANE CAMERA series costs 0 yen both when installing and when removing it.

It is a camera that eliminates the trouble of calling a contractor, the cost of installation, and the work time.

In addition, we have obtained the technical suitability mark and have been approved for use by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications, so you can use it with confidence without violating the Radio Law.

In addition, the vertical transmission distance between the camera and monitor is guaranteed to be up to 40 meters, which is compatible with many cranes except tower cranes.

Therefore, it can be used as an auxiliary camera by attaching it to the tip of the crane arm or in front of the hook.

summary

This time, we introduced TCI's CRANE CAMERA series, which is compatible with cranes.

There was a fact that it was quite difficult to introduce an auxiliary camera when working with a crane car, but I made the CRANE CAMERA series this time with the hope that I could reach such an itchy place. Any iron can be freely attached and detached, and it can be replaced with any vehicle at any time.

We hope that the CRANE CAMERA series will be of some help to everyone who owns a crane.
