Mitigating Risks of Multi-Elevation Cranes

Crane safety experts explain emerging technologies to mitigate risks with multi-elevation cranes in steel mills.
As steel mills utilize multiple cranes on varying elevations, collisions and injuries remain an ongoing concern. New technologies aim to address these challenges.
"The steel industry has predominantly been a little bit behind the technology curve, and really, we should be leading the curve. Because this is one of the most expensive downtime-related industries."
In this episode, Laser-View Technologies president Steven Lubeck joins Mazzella crane experts Kenny Wright and Mark Shubel to explore crane safety within the steel industry.
• Hear how multi-elevation cranes are used in steel mills and the associated safety risks
• Learn about “no-fly zones” and other technologies to prevent collisions
• Discover how these technologies also improve productivity and efficiency
• Get perspectives on balancing safety needs with cost considerations
• Find out where they see the future of crane safety technology headed
For steel mill safety managers, maintenance managers, and steelmaking leaders, this Safety Factor episode delivers critical insights on emerging crane technologies to enhance safety, prevent downtime, and boost productivity.
