This LMI system has a number of different modes that correspond with how the crane is setup (ie. ling on the winch hook, lug etc) and can motion cut the operator controls should the erane risk turning over. These modes are called duties. In addition, to allow the MAC25 crane to travelling legally on Australian roads, a 1500kg steel weight (call a counterweight) is fitted to the front of the crane, but can also be fitted to the rear of the crane. This setup allows two (2) diferent lting duties in the LMI system. 500%g steel counterweight fitted to the front and rear of the Mac25 crane Figure 4: Counterweight Setup ‘The current design allows the operator to select a LMI duty with the counterweight fited in the rear, while itis actually stil fitted to the front of the crane, The result of this action means the LM system can allow the crane to lift heavier loads and risk the crane's stability. ‘The proposed design and development will introduce a software and hardware enhancement in the counterweight sensor of the crane that will enable any lifting duty to have the correct counterweight applied to balance out the crane, and if not, to lock out the system preventing the lifting duty selected from activating. This would ensure that the crane does not tip over upon Incorrect selection of liting duty. Outcomes: The project requires research, development and testing of a sensor system to detect the location of the 1500kg counterweight along with a software enhancement to the LMI computer to prevent the operator from selecting and lifting loads in the wrong duty.

In addition, this system also displays general road travel information (speed, tachometer, fuel, temperature ete) when the crane is travelling to and from site on road networks. Figure 6 The current design allows the operator to travel on road networks at speeds up to 80 km/hr (travel mode) with the boom elevated at angle risking collision with bridges, tunnels as per example Figure 6 Page 19 0f24 Outcomes: The project requires research, development and testing of a warming system to detect when the crane boom Is above a certain postion when in travel mode (10 degrees). The output being a software enhancement to the LMI computer to provide a warning to the crane operator whien the boom needs to be lowered for travel Technical Risk: ‘+ design must fit within existing crane sub-systems, unique to mobile cranes ‘+ dosign must moet regulatory requirements and standards + design must allow for fitting to okler model cranes. The safety and related benefits ofthis project being + improved safety in travel operations warning the operator when the crane boom is not in the correct position for travel on road networks + Improved safety for surrounding environment and people ‘+ reduced risk in crane damage caused by colisions with obstacles, This project would benefit mobile crane operators, people using road networks and surround environment and mobile crane owners. Delivery method: This project will be delivered into industry via + all new Pick & Carry cranes manufactured by Terex Australia will include the warning system as standard + the waming system will be made available for retrofit into existing cranes in the field as part of an Lil upgrade kit ‘+ information about this project will be shared with the crane industry (refer to Initiative 7) Timeframe: 52 weeks from start of project design work commencing June 2013, Total estimated cost! $31,910 Speak about Terex Cranes’ work safety at a leading Australian crane industry conference Scope: Terex Australia will arrange to have the President of Terex Cranes division of Terex. Corporation (or in the event that he becomes unavailable, another senior global leader in Terex's crane business), who resides in USA, to speak about Terex Cranes’ work safely al the leading Australian crane industry conference arranged by the Crane Industry Council of Australia (Crane Industry Council of Australia National Annual Conference, September 2014) The Crane Industry Council of Australia (CICA) was formed in 1980 and is the national peak body for the crane industry. CICA represents the interests of crane operators, owners, manufacturers, suppliers, designers and importers in all sectors including mobile cranes, tower cranes and vehicle loading cranes, through promoting the crane industry nationally. It also provides a forum for its members to keep informed and discuss issues and developments concerning the crane Industry (including work safety) through arranging regular conferences, seminars, meetings anc Page 20 of 24 distributing newsletters as well as providing other services aimed at assisting its members to ‘operate more effectively and safely work in the crane industry. CICA arranges a major conference once a year (the next one being the National Annual Conference in September 2014) which is usually attended by the majority of its membership including representatives of related businesses such as major construction companies. Terex ‘Australia decided to deliver its presentation on work safety at this conference to ensure its strong mescage of work safety reaches a wide, targeted and influential audience. ‘The proposed talk will focus on Terex Cranes’ experience with work safely with the overriding theme of ‘making safety personal’.
