VLN - Feature List

200% Increase in lifts and crane utilisation.
“Without the VLN, we'd set 4-5 panels [per hour]With it, we were able to pick and set in a timelier fashion – just 5 minutes per panel instead of 15.
The VLN proved particularly effective for vertical panels, weighing up to 12,000 lbs. and measuring between 20-35 ft. With a 1-degree plumb and squareness, the VLN offered optimal control”

Fewer incidents. Safer crews.
Protecting lives.
Keep working while other sites shutdown.
“We were the only consistent subcontractor on a site with 50 different subcontractors. When everybody else had to shut down due to wind-outs, we kept working. Additionally, we had to deal with at least 15 changes to the erection sequence, but we knew that thanks to the VLN, no matter what we were faced with, the timing was always going to be the same. Whenever you have consistency with the schedule, you have reduced costs.”

Precise load placement
The ability to rotate the Vita load device by remote control is a God send, enabling us to position the load in the precise orientation for safely entering the Plenum confines and lowering to pit bottom safely and without the fear of wall strikes during descent or wind action rotating the load mid lift.
I can safely say I will not hesitate to recommend this device and have done already to numerous other works managers here on HS2 and further afield.“

Tracks motion, wind, and load behavior in real time.
Modular design allows for reconfiguring the system size - spreader bar length or the placement of the fans - depending on your requirements.

All-day endurance.
Dustproof. Water-resistant. Built for harsh sites.
Built for serious lifts
No one in the danger zone under neath the load. No taglines.
“One of the biggest challenges we have when erecting a tower crane is running long taglines through a congested job site.
Using Vita’s system can eliminate that. We did not have to run through an obstacle course, making it much more efficient and safer for the crew."
Josiah Rausch
Crane Tech Manager - CLS
Repetitive Lifts, remembered and simplified.
“I got to see this pick up a 20-foot container in the wind and I was amazed at how it holds its position while the crane slewed the container around.

The operator put the unit into standby mode; the container moved about 70 degrees from its GPS set location. Once the operator turned it back on the system automatically moved the container back to the exact GPS location set.”

From Construction to Mining - What Industry Customers say about the Load Navigator:

“This lifting bar is just out there!!!

“Our lifting operations here are severely hampered by the fact that our 18.6mt diameter shaft only has a vertical Plenum opening 8.450mt x 5.200mt. Some of the loads we have to lift into the shaft are over 7.5mts wide and can be anything up to 30 Tonnes in weight.
The ability to rotate the Vita load device by remote control is a God send, enabling us to position the load in the precise orientation for safely entering the Plenum confines and lowering to pit bottom safely and without the fear of wall strikes during descent or wind action rotating the load mid lift.
