#Crane lift rental trial
We anticipate that the trial phase should take a few months. We haven’t heard from them for a while though… The company providing regular feedback on responsiveness and signals being received from the sensors connected to the crane operators. This is why Quinto has been working with technology firm Norwich Analytica to monitor operator brain function during the trial phases. This means they will now only be able to perform simple tasks such as digger driving, slinging or planning jobs as a Appointed Person.Ĭrane Hire and Contract Lifts are potentially dangerous at all times, so using new technology adds extra potential risks to the operations. Several mobile crane operators lost brain function over the course of their trial. This is unfortunate but now one of our operatives thinks he is happily married again, so it’s not all bad news. Through initial contract lift and CPA hire trials we have found that some operators have picked up thoughts and memories from other users where their brain signals are still stored in the system. The unit sends signals directly to the crane when the operator thinks about moving the machine. Electrodes are connected to the head under the hard hat to a wireless transmitter. The prototype unit receives signals from the operator using a modified hard hat. This involved extensive training and testing in our yard before taking the new machine out on site to test the technology. After a thorough screening and selection process, the most suitable operators with the highest brain function were identified and signed waivers to take part in the trial. The technology will radically change the way we deliver crane hire and contract lifts to our customers.Īfter extensive research and simulation, Quinto was chosen by the undisclosed manufacturer for real world trials. The unit has been tested by several of our specially selected operators. The first unit has been retrofitted to an existing mobile crane from our fleet. With the newly developed neural interface they can operate without lifting a finger. Everyone knows crane operators like to do as little moving as possible. Whilst health and safety is our first priority, speed and efficiency are also important. That’s why we are proud to announce that we have been involved in the development and testing of the world’s first brain-crane interface technology. We always look to innovate with the latest tech, training and techniques. Here at Quinto Crane and Plant we don’t want to be left behind with the crowd.
