Crane Hook Tracking System

Main description

Precise crane hook alignment and positioning poses multiple challenges for utilities when utilizing bridge match marks or cameras. Incorrect positioning results in significant impacts to the schedule and dose rates during critical lifts. Framatome’s Crane Hook Tracking System (CHTS) is a cutting edge positioning system, which enables the crane operator or spotter the ability to remotely monitor crane hook positioning when performing critical lift activities. CHTS has the ability to be quickly installed and set-up, as it does not require a plant modification. The concept is easily understood by the operator and provides real time on-screen tracking of the exact position of the crane hook during movement.
