LaseSPC – Straddle Positioning Crane offers laser-based positioning through a 2D measurement system consisting of two 2D laser scanners mounted on the water and landside sill beam.

The straddle carrier is equipped with reference markers on all four portal legs and when under or on approach to the crane, the measurement system detects it and calculates its exact position.

It can offer exact positioning of up to two straddle carriers in a multi-lane operation and is available for retrofit on existing cranes.
