Making lifting operations more efficient & safer for personnel
Page last modified
August 4 2023
Roborigger is an automated lifting device which accurately rotates and holds loads in a specific orientation regardless of wind. No tag-lines are needed. It is a game-changer for lifting safety as personnel no longer need to be in a position where they can be injured by lifted loads. Roborigger is ideal for use on construction tower cranes and mobile cranes.
Roborigger boosts the productivity of crane operations by 10-30% and greatly extends the operating window for lifting loads with large windage. Roborigger is an inertial wireless load controlling system to rotate and orient crane loads. Roborigger technology comes with internet-connected tracking software that collects data from every lift including time, weight, and the location of the loads being lifted.
Roborigger is recognized by the Western Australia’s WorkSafe as the Best Solution to a Workplace Health and Safety Risk and has won three awards at the WA Innovator of the Year 2019 including innovation in mining and oil and gas.
