What was the desire / problem that Mammoet was looking for a solution to?
Mammoet is committed to safety and sustainability.
This is why they want to place higher safety requirements on their cranes.
The wish of Mammoet is therefore a total solution that enables the crane operator to be aware of what is happening around his crane.
In addition, it was also a desire to warn bystanders preventively so that maximum safety could be realized.
Why did Mammoet come to Rietveld B.V.?
Among other things, Rietveld B.V. specializes in safety solutions for vehicles and machines.
The extensive experience we have with customization, combined with a wide range of safety solutions, was decisive for Mammoet to sit down with us.
How did the solution come about?
Mammoet discussed this wish with our specialists.
This specific wish could not be realized with a single standard solution.
To make this wish a reality, our specialists had to investigate which existing products could be combined.
Finally, a selection was made that should be a total customized solution to this problem.
What solutions were chosen?
An EasyView 360 camera system with “bird view,” an EasyDetect detection sensor system and Red lines solution were chosen.
360 degree camera:
The 360-degree camera with “bird view” gives the operator all-round visibility, allowing him/her to see directly what is happening around the crane.
Detection sensors:
Since the operator cannot continuously look at a screen, the crane is also equipped with detection sensors.
These sensors detect objects and people up to 3 meters from the crane.
When something is within those 3 meters, an LED lights up in the environmental corner, alerting the operator.
An audio alert is also given to the operator for additional awareness.
Redlines:
To make it complete, a Redlines system is installed.
This system is specifically for outdoor use and marks with red lines an area around the crane where persons should stay out.
This is primarily a preventive measure.
We have not used this combination of products before.
In addition, a crane is also a special vehicle that we normally do not have inside.
But with our “Everything is possible until proven otherwise” mentality and the skill of our technical people, we made this challenge another success!
