CraneSTAR gives you up-to-date crane fleet information, no matter where you or your cranes are located. You can monitor locations and working conditions; plan maintenance and lifting schedules; and maximize your company’s efficiency, productivity and profitability.
CraneSTAR is designed for the tough applications your cranes see on a daily basis. All hardware is weatherproof and meets or exceeds industry environmental standards as well as SAE J1455 specifications for mechanical, electrical and environmental design and use. With its IP67 sealed, compact aluminum enclosure, the hardware is built to withstand harsh environments.
CraneSTAR allows for efficient troubleshooting with six onboard LEDs. A complete user guide is also available to help maintain and troubleshoot all components.
By using the latest processor and communications technology on the market today, CraneSTAR can function nearly anywhere on the globe.

The easy-to-use CraneSTAR Express web site allows you to view your crane data from any PC or web-enabled device with an Internet connection. Users can view and automatically schedule the delivery of customized reports so they can analyze data quickly and identify trends in the equipment. This secure web site provides users a login name, password and the ability to control who can access information.
The mapping and geo-fence functions allow users to know where the assets are at all times. Custom setup tools and location tracking provide users the opportunity to monitor the fleet on a local, regional, national or global level. Users can also define a jobsite boundary or fence an entire state or country.
CraneSTAR reduces costs and improves profitability by helping users monitor critical data, recognize trends and make more efficient decisions. Users can monitor engine use, location changes, daily productivity, critical systems and more. Users can also monitor equipment for routine service and keep equipment running longer by utilizing automated custom maintenance alerts based on the machine's service meter.
CraneSTAR uses cellular data transmission to relay the location of your crane anywhere in the world. Once your crane moves outside the job space parameters, you will be alerted via the geo-fence alert. Your crane will also send a signal if the engine is started after relocation, to show that the crane is ready for work. Knowing where every piece of your equipment is at all times not only helps you keep track of your fleet, it eliminates worry over security concerns.
CraneSTAR puts your crane data right at your fingertips, wherever you are. Using a world-wide cellular data transmission network, you can monitor where your cranes are working, their fuel status, their working status, their load capacity and more. With CraneSTAR, you can effectively manage your fleet and easily track equipment activity. It provides actual operating data that can be used to increase productivity and profitability so you can feel confident about your business.
