BENEFITS AT A GLANCE
PRODUCTI VI TY Hundreds of operator studi es demonstrate
that cycl e ti me i mproves by 10% to 40%
PRECI SI ON Accurate l oad pl acement i s si mpl e because
operators focus on posi ti oni ng rather than swi ng
correcti on
SAFETY Load sway preventi on reduces ri sk of equi pment
damage and personal i nj ury
SERVI CE LI FE Mai ntenance costs and downti me are
reduced by decreasi ng mechani cal and structural stress
PERSONNEL Novi ce operators perform as wel l as
experi enced counter parts, reduci ng the need for

SPECI FI CATI ONS
Boei ng, a worl d-wi de manufacturer of ai rcrafts, i mpl e-
mented Expert Operator technol ogy at thei r St. Loui s
assembl y pl ant, where cranes are used extensi vel y for
producti on.
Boei ng conducted an i ndependent study to assess the
benefi ts of the technol ogy. Four operators drove cranes
wi th and wi thout the technol ogy i nstal l ed.
Expert Operator reduced payl oad col l i si ons by 94%.
made it a lot easier
-operator 1 (experi enced)
it was easier to anticipate stopping
-operator 2 (novi ce)
incredible, quickly builds confidence
-operator 3 (crane operator trai ner)
it felt much safer
