Still, there&#8217;s no need to relearn the way you work.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You don&#8217;t have to climb out in the cold &#8211; everything is close by and you can start loading immediately when you arrive at the working site.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You have a surprisingly wide field of vision.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Sornek says the development stems from a desire &#8220;to be the safety forerunner in our industry, complying with regulations even before they become the actual law.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Source:<\/strong> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tradetrucks.com.au\/product-news\/1604\/hiab-launches-remote-crane-operation-system\/\">Trade Trucks<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Crane equipment manufacturer Hiab has announced a new vision system \u2013 the HiVision 3D control system \u2013 for mobile crane operators, allowing them to remain in the truck cab during loading and unloading.
