Hiab launches the HiVision 2.0 camera system for forestry cranes

Hiab’s HiVision™ for forestry cranes uses external cameras to show the cranes surrounding.

The operators sees the surroundings using virtual reality (VR) goggles inside the truck cabin. This improves productivity, reduces the weight of the equipment and provides a more comfortable and safer working environment for the operator. HiVision 2.0 has an improved camera system combined with a powerful computer and goggles. This supports a higher frame rate as well as a better resolution and brightness to create a more natural viewing experience. It is also possible to retrofit existing Loglift or Jonsered forestry cranes with the first version of HiVision.

The new HiVision 2.0 reduces the issues of dizziness or blurred vision, commonly associated with the use of VR technology. The solution continues to offer improved precision, safety and comfortable work environment of the forestry cranes and has proven very popular with the customers who bought the first version of HiVision.
