HIAB hydraulic cranes are equipped with a sophisticated electronic system and
software that records every movement of the crane, its mode of operation, and its load. The SpaceEvo
electronic system of HIAB truck-mounted cranes monitors its operation, controls certain functions, and
gives the operator important information during load handling.
But advanced technology has its full value only when the operator knows how to
use it and what the crane is telling them.
The lights, symbols, and warnings on the control panel are not there for no reason. The operator should
follow the information about the crane's operation and load and react properly when the system signals
certain limits, warns of overload, or warns that the crane is being brought into an incorrect position.
A warning is not something to be ignored or bypassed – it is information that gives the operator
the ability to plan the next steps …
Equally important is knowing how to work properly with the remote control. It is not used only
for lifting, lowering, and moving the crane. It gives the operator a better view of the work zone,
monitoring of the load on the crane column, the first boom, the second boom, and the telescopic
extensions by means of signal lights on the remote control unit itself. During training for
operating a hydraulic crane, a special segment is training in working with the remote
control, understanding all the options and capabilities, and what to do in case of danger.
The advanced control system also allows several functions to be used simultaneously, but the goal is not
just to trigger several commands at once. An experienced operator knows how to control them properly
and direct them so as to ensure a smooth, precise, and controlled movement.
That is why today it is not enough to simply know how to operate a crane.
You need to know its configuration, equipment level, all the safety systems
that have been implemented and installed, how the load is monitored, what the warnings mean, and what all the
limitations/capabilities in operation are. Merely citing the designations SAF, SAV, VSSL means little to the operator
if they do not know how to use them and what they mean for them in practice.
The goal of every user of a hydraulic truck-mounted crane is to become familiar with how
the crane itself works, to make full use of all its performance, to more easily
recognize irregularities, and to ensure proper operation of the equipment during everyday work.
That is why at Tehnika Hidraulike we do not view operator training merely as theory but emphasize
the importance of hands-on practice.
It is important to us that the user understands the system they operate.
Because technology can monitor, warn, and help.
But the operator must know what the crane is telling them.
