The Buddie System instantly alerts crane operators to stop the crane
Marr Contracting (Marr) are world leaders in the design and delivery of heavy lift luffing tower cranes and heavy lifting services. Marr are also one of the key subcontractors working with Parklife Metro D&C on the construction of the Sydney Metro Western Sydney Airport Terminal, Airport Business Park and St Mary’s stations. Marr is the first business in the world to implement new crane safety technology, The Buddie System, on two Sydney construction projects including the ParkLife Metro D&C Sydney Metro Western Sydney Airport Terminal station site. The Buddie System is designed for crane operators and dogmen / slinger signallers to reduce the risk of accidents caused by two-way radio issues or miscommunication between crane crews. With up to 30 percent of crane accidents involving miscommunication between operators and ground crews, The Buddie System has real potential to prevent injuries and fatalities on construction sites. The wireless instant safety alert device overcomes the shortfalls of existing two-way radio technology by allowing dogmen to instantly alert crane operators to stop if something goes wrong. “Safety is always our number one priority and with The Buddie System we have an innovative solution to a common safety issue on construction sites,” said Marr’s Managing Director, Simon Marr.
