Control the wind at great heights!

Safety – Personnel no longer need to control or position the load using tag lines. This prevents workers from having to operate in close proximity to a suspended load, follow the load across the construction site, or risk being pulled over by unexpected gusts of wind. With an Orientator, this hazardous process is completely eliminated.

More lifting hours – Wind can cause elements to rotate uncontrollably, especially when the load cannot be reached with tag lines. This can bring the crane and sometimes even the entire crew to a standstill. Depending on the type of Orientator, operations can continue at wind speeds of up to approximately 48 km/h, significantly increasing crane availability and the number of effective lifting hours.

Efficiency – No time is wasted attaching, operating, or repositioning tag lines. Positioning is faster or even fully automatic, resulting in savings in crane time and man‑hours.

Damage prevention – By maintaining control over the rotation and position of the load and lifting equipment at any height, with an accuracy of up to one degree, the risk of damage to equipment, loads, and the building structure is minimized.

Tag lines – A commonly used alternative to an Orientator is working with tag lines. In this method, a worker manually controls the rotation of the load using a line. This can be effective in simple situations, but it requires the worker to move along with the load and have sufficient free space to do so safely.At greater lifting heights, in confined spaces, or during unexpected gusts of wind, this control becomes less direct and the risk increases. The tag line becomes longer, corrections are slower to take effect, and the worker may be forced closer to the danger zone or may even be pulled off balance.
