LIFTING DEVICE EFFICIENT LOAD DELIVERY, LOAD MONITORING, COLLISION AVOIDANCE, AND LOAD HAZARD AVOIDANCE

摘要

A lifting device sensor unit comprises a housing, a first global navigation satellite system (GNSS) receiver, and a wireless transceiver. The housing is configured to removably couple about a load line of a lifting device. The first GNSS receiver is coupled with the housing and configured for determining a sensor unit position in three dimensions. The wireless transceiver is coupled with the housing and configured for wirelessly providing information including the sensor unit position to a display unit located apart from the sensor unit.
