FRANNA SAFETY RADAR

KEY FEATURES:

Ever uncertain of your LMI during a lift? Franna's game-changing Safety Radar lets you have confidence in your lift! Here's why it will transform your pick and carry experience:

See the unseen: Forget static load charts. Safety Radar paints a dynamic picture of your safe working zone in real-time. No more guesswork – instantly see the impact of boom extension, articulation, and even slopes on your lifting capacity.

Predictive Power: Imagine knowing the dangerous points in a lift and having a clear visual tool to plan the safest path for your next move before you even make it. Safety Radar anticipates potential tipping issues, guiding you clear of danger zones.

Dynamic Manoeuvring: Negotiating tight spaces and uneven terrain? Safety Radar adjusts on the fly, showing you exactly where you can (and can't) go with your load. Make informed decisions with every movement, maximising safety and efficiency.

The Franna Safety Radar is a new software feature designed by Terex Franna to assist with pick and carry crane lifting operations. The functionality of the Safety Radar is based on the limitation that, until now, Franna pick and carry cranes have been displaying to the operator the rated capacity of the crane and the load at singular point in time. Well not anymore.

Unlike conventional Load Moment Indicators (LMI) which only tell you the percentage of rated capacity for the current lifting position, Franna’s Safety Radar shows the operator a simple and clear visual radar map of the safe working area for the load being lifted and most importantly for the actual working environment of the crane i.e. front/rear and side slope. It will help to predict the safest options for the next stages of the lift.

All Franna operators would have a general understanding that the rated capacity drops off as radius is extended, when the crane is articulated and when the crane is positioned across a slope with the load on the downhill side. But what is really hard to predict is when the crane is limited by or approaching a side tipping condition, based on real-life working conditions.

With Safety Radar, Terex Franna is hoping to change the way operators utilize the information being presented, such as when the crane starts to lift up the load. The operator sees the green safe working area instantly adjust on the display, dynamically updating to show any areas of the working area that the operator should not approach.

When it comes to the next step of the lift, with the pick and carry crane mobile and moving the load from point A to point B, there are typically quite a number of twists or turns and surface undulations that have to be negotiated. As the display dynamically updates, it gives the operator an understanding of what the next move should be. If the operator has options on how to get from point A to point B, Safety Radar helps determine which move is going to be the safest.
