Crane Monitoring System
Crane fleets need continuous visibility into load, tilt, and operating conditions. Without it, breaches and mechanical issues may remain undetected until an incident occurs on site. Melqart Systems delivers telemetry for every crane: real-time load, tilt, and operational data from sensor to dashboard, with tamper-proof compliance logs that satisfy EN 13000 and BS 7121 requirements.
Crane fleets need continuous visibility before incidents occur.
Mobile and tower cranes operate in environments where real-time monitoring is critical, but many fleets still rely on manual inspection, periodic maintenance, and post-incident analysis. When a crane is overloaded, operated outside rated parameters, or affected by a mechanical issue, the first signal is often a failure. A single incident can mean equipment damage, project delays, insurance claims, and regulatory consequences. Melqart Systems connects the crane's control bus, sensors, and operational data to a unified monitoring platform so operators and managers can see operating conditions in real time, from anywhere.
Real-time overload protection
Continuous load and tilt monitoring with configurable alarm thresholds, detecting breaches before they become incidents.
Remote fleet visibility
Operational status, location, and health across your entire crane fleet from one dashboard.
Compliance-ready data logging
Tamper-proof operational records that satisfy EN 13000, BS 7121, and insurer audit requirements.
Predictive maintenance signals
Cycle counts, utilization patterns, and anomaly detection from actual usage data, not calendar intervals.
Where current approaches fall short
Safety breaches detected only after an incident
Without a live view of load conditions, tilt angles, and operating hours, threshold breaches can remain undetected until an incident occurs. The resulting cost can include equipment damage, project delays, and insurance claims.
Calendar-based maintenance misses actual wear
Without continuous monitoring, maintenance is scheduled on fixed intervals rather than actual usage data. This can cause premature service on low-utilization cranes and costly breakdowns on equipment with the highest workload.
Manual logbooks cannot reliably satisfy certification or insurance audits
EN 13000, BS 7121, and insurance audits require complete, tamper-proof operational records. Manual logbooks are incomplete, error-prone, and difficult to audit, creating liability exposure after an incident.
How the Crane Monitoring System Works
Melqart Systems integrates with the crane's CAN bus and onboard sensors, processes data at the edge, and delivers a unified monitoring view to the fleet management platform.
The Deployment Package
A complete crane monitoring stack, including hardware, integration, connectivity, and platform delivery, ready for serial deployment across the fleet.
Load & Tilt Integration
CAN/J1939 bus decoding and analog sensor integration for load cells and inclinometers, native to major crane OEM architectures.
Alarm & Limit Management
Configurable thresholds for overload, tilt, wind speed, and application-specific operating limits with multi-channel alerting.
Fleet Visibility Dashboard
Real-time and historical view of every crane: GPS location, load utilization, fault codes, and operating hour accumulation.
Compliance Data Logging
Tamper-proof operational logs with timestamps that satisfy EN 13000, BS 7121, and insurer audit requirements.
