Crosby BlokAlert
BlokAlert is a warning system developed by Crosby Blokcam. When BlokAlert is activated, the BlokAlert receiver gives an easy recognizable audio-visual signal, that can be seen and heard by on site personnel in immediate proximity to the hook or load. This gives a warning to the workforce about the position of the hook block, which also reduces the risk of accidents involving the hook, lifting accessories or load.
Why BlokAlert?
Traditionally the distance between the load and the horn, which is often located near the operator’s cab, does not warn the site personnel to the position of the hook or load efficiently enough. That also applies to airhorns or whistles when the are used by riggers. In both scenarios the attention is immediately pulled to the sound and not to the actual hazard. The solution is to fit a warning system to the hook block. When that is activated, the attention immediately goes to the hazard, not away from it.

How does BlokAlert work?
In the cab:
The transmitter is activated by a foot switch in the cab. When the foot switch is activated, it sends a signal to the receiver on the hook block.
On the hook block:
When it receives the signal from either the foot switch in the cab or the included remote controls, the receiver is activated and starts warning people with both audio and light.
BlokAlert can be used on all crane types.
