Torquer Lifting Solutions
Many accidents both on construction sites and with offshore operations are caused by human contact with heavy loads. Most cranes are unable to control the orientation of their loads so ground crew have to perform the orientation using tag lines or other physical contact. This often places workers in close proximity to very heavy moving loads.
Torquer provide a very simple solution to this with their patented remote controlled orientation system, HALO (Hands free Autonomous Load Orientation).
Benefits
- No more tag lines means safer operation
- No-one near the load when lifting/landing
- No change to hook on/off procedures
- Faster loading times
- Easy to install and operate
I believe this will be a major step forward in the safe handling of crane loads and the reduction of workplace injuries and fatalities throughout the construction and oilfield industries

Torquer was originally set up to design, develop, build and launch a specialised product, the HALO, to solve a well-known and longstanding problem facing the Oil & Gas sector, i.e. controlling the orientation of containers as they are loaded to and from offshore installations. This is a major problem for the sector and currently, serious health and safety issues exist. There is a major push in the offshore industries for handsfree lifting operations.
The Construction Industry also faces similar health and safety challenges related to controlling load orientation which our product solves.
