Metal Coil Handling

Moving large metal coils is challenging. The operator often has limited visibility of his forks or coil ram and can easily hit the coil’s edge or push too far through it, resulting in scrap loss, delays, and extra labor. A camera system designed for your application can solve your visibility issues.

Without a solution in place:

Fork damage on coiled metals is common because it is difficult for operators to see the tips of their forks or the coil ram when picking up a load.
Over-insertion of forks can damage product stored on the floor.
Large forklifts have very poor rear visibility immediately behind the truck even with mirrors; they can hit pedestrians, vehicles, or cause property damage.

Using an HVS camera system:

Cameras can be mounted to view the tips of the forks or ram from the optimal perspective.
The operator knows where the tips of his forks are while they are hidden inside the coil and avoid over-insertion.
Cameras can watch the area under the load to assist with picking from the floor and placing the coil on a dolly. The operator can maintain proper clearance to the floor so driving over uneven surfaces will not cause product damage.

Other Applications

Roll Handling – Roll Clamps

Rolls of material are often very large and can block the forklift operator’s view, making it difficult to maneuver the forklift. Rolls are easily damaged or soiled, causing scrap loss. [...]

Rear View Application

Maneuvering a forklift is difficult since it requires driving in reverse for most jobs due to the load obstructing the frontal view. Rear-end steering makes the forklift take tight turns [...]

Other Applications

With constant advances in technology, evolving customer needs, and unique applications many of our systems are built-to-order. If we don’t have an existing model that does what you need, we [...]

Let's Build Something Together

HVS welcomes the opportunity to work with original equipment manufacturers (OEM) to help integrate camera systems into their products.

Eliminating visibility issues for operators will make your equipment easier and safer to use and will remove a possible barrier to purchase. HVS is able to design camera systems to integrate with your equipment, support its application, and suit its operating environment.
