Collision Avoidance Systems for Overhead Cranes
Adding a Crane Collision Avoidance System to your overhead crane helps reduce accidents in your operating environment. Using advanced technology like Lidar, Infrared, and Lasers, these anti-collision devices are able to detect distance in real time and control crane movement to prevent potential collisions, whether between different types of cranes or between cranes and objects. This can help avoid costly repairs, reduce maintenance costs, increase worker safety, and enhance performance in your facility.
Tri-State Overhead Crane offers various types of safety technology that reduce the risk of crane collisions in the workplace. Browse our selection of collision avoidance systems below to find the best option for your application.
LAC Crane Anti-Collision System
The LAC Crane Anti-Collision System by Engineered Components Group uses lidar technology to reduce the risk of collisions between bridge cranes and improve safety. It features a lidar sensor, reflector-less operation for wide object detection, and programmable slow down/stop limits from a mobile device. The system can be installed on a single crane with no companion part, configurable from the ground, and comes in various cable lengths to suit your needs.

Description |
| LAC-12 |
Advanced anti-collision system that uses lidar technology to prevent crane crashes, keeping your workplace safe. It features a 12-meter detection range, eliminates the need for reflector setup, and allows for programmable slow down and stop limits directly from your phone or tablet. |
| LAC-30 |
Advanced anti-collision system that uses lidar technology to prevent crane crashes, keeping your workplace safe. It features a 30-meter detection range, eliminates the need for reflector setup, and allows for programmable slow down and stop limits directly from your phone or tablet. |
ReFlx 45
The ReFlx 45 is a single-stop action infrared (IR) crane collision avoidance system. This single sensor / single target system is most commonly used to stop overhead crane bridges, trolleys, and monorails and prevent collisions or limit the approach of adjacent structures.

LaserGuard 2
Magnetek's LaserGuard 2 Collision Avoidance System measures the distance between the laser unit's lens and its companion retro-reflective target by means of pulse ranging technology that allows for very accurate measurements and energy efficiency. This type of communications link has very high noise immunity and provides the necessary accuracy to measure distances from 8 inches to 150 feet. The laser has a visible light beam, which makes system alignment very easy.

The system includes: laser, bracket, enclosed Laser Support Unit, reflector, and a 10m cable. |
| LG2-L-4 |
Indoor service DC powered cranes (9-36 VDC), and the range is 8in-150ft. The system provides 3 contacts for controlled slowdown and a fault relay to indicate problems or to cut out power to the crane. The system includes: laser, bracket, enclosed Laser Support Unit, reflector, and a 10m cable. |
| LG2-H-4X |
Corrosive and harsh environment service on AC or DC powered cranes (85-264 VAC or 120-370 VDC), and the range is 8in-150ft. The system provides 3 contacts for controlled slowdown and a fault relay to indicate problems or to cut out power to the crane. Sensor and control are supplied in a NEMA 4X enclosure. The system includes: laser, bracket, Laser Support Unit, reflector, and a 0.5m cable. |
| LG2-L-4X |
Corrosive and harsh environment service on DC powered cranes (9-36 VDC), 270VAC/27VDC, and the range is 8in-150ft. The system provides 3 contacts for controlled slowdown and a fault relay to indicate problems or to cut out power to the crane. Sensor and control are supplied in a NEMA 4X enclosure. The system includes: laser, bracket, Laser Support Unit, reflector, and a 0.5m cable. |
Duct-O-Wire CAS Series Anti-Collision Device
Duct-O-Wire's CAS Series Crane Anti-Collision Devices use lasers to prevent crane crashes on indoor cranes. The CAS-1RA-O offers a simpler solution for stopping cranes within a 3 ft. to 30 ft. range, ideal for basic applications like crane separation or end stop detection. If you need more control, the CAS-2L100 provides slow down and stop functionality within a 3 ft. to 100 ft. range, making it suitable for complex situations. Both systems include mounting hardware and function reliably in various lighting conditions.
