Enhancing Safety with Anti-Collision Devices for Tower Cranes

Introduction

In today’s fast-paced construction industry, safety is the top priority—especially when multiple tower cranes operate in close proximity. Accidents caused by crane collisions can lead to severe damage, costly downtime, and potential loss of life. To address this critical challenge, Anti-Collision Devices for Tower Cranes have become an essential part of modern construction site safety systems.

What is an Anti-Collision Device for Tower Cranes?

An Anti-Collision Device (ACD) is an intelligent electronic safety system designed to prevent accidents between multiple tower cranes or between a crane and nearby structures. It continuously monitors crane parameters such as slewing angle, trolley position, hook height, and jib radius, ensuring that cranes maintain safe distances from each other and obstacles.

When two cranes approach a dangerous proximity, the system alerts the operator through visual and audible alarms and can even automatically restrict motion to avoid collision.

Key Features

  • Real-Time Monitoring: Continuously tracks crane movement and position.
  • Automatic Motion Control: Stops or slows down crane movement before a potential collision.
  • User-Friendly Interface: Easy-to-read display for crane operators.
  • Data Logging: Records operations for safety audits and analysis.
  • Customizable Safety Zones: Adjustable parameters as per site layout and crane configuration.
  • Compatibility: Can be installed on all types of tower cranes—new or existing.

Benefits of Installing Anti-Collision Devices14

  • Enhanced Site Safety – Minimizes the risk of accidents and equipment damage.
  • Operational Efficiency – Allows multiple cranes to work simultaneously in close proximity with coordinated movement.
  • Cost Savings – Prevents costly repairs, project delays, and insurance claims.
  • Regulatory Compliance – Meets national and international safety standards for crane operation.
  • Ease of Maintenance – Designed for long-term use with minimal maintenance requirements.

How It Works

The system consists of multiple sensors and controllers installed on each crane. These components communicate wirelessly to exchange real-time data about position and motion. When a potential collision path is detected:

  • The operator is alerted instantly.
  • The system intervenes to limit further unsafe movement.
  • Operations resume safely once the risk is cleared.
