Mammoet is testing the new safety system on one crane, with hopes of rolling out to other vehicles.

The final tier, the “halo,” draws a light boundary on the floor around the crane, giving those nearby a clear visible indication of the safe zone. This is especially important at sites where hearing protection is required. The boundary can be switched on and off manually, and is set to automatically turn off when a certain speed is reached.
“By combining these three systems, Mammoet will improve safety, minimize accidents and damage, and give greater confidence to crane operators to create safer working environments. We see this as a comprehensive system that will not only enhance crane safety, but also operator training in the future. Initial tests are promising, and I am very proud of the results,” said Ferdi Kivanc, Project Coordinator EMD at Mammoet.
“When Mammoet approached us with what it wanted to achieve, we were delighted to offer our expertise. By working with its engineers to test the integration of our collision-prevention technologies, we have created something unique in crane safety solutions. We look forward to developing the system further and progressing to eventual rollout,” said Rietveld Account Manager Frank Kanters.
