Motion Detection System (MDS)

Seatrax MDS boom-tip radar system that measures supply boat deck velocity and calculates the dynamic coefficient to generate API 2C load charts.

Description

The Seatrax Motion Detection System (MDS) measures the velocity of a supply boat's deck from the crane and instantly calculates the dynamic coefficient. In calm conditions this lets operators lift heavier loads at larger radii.

Key features

  • Radar-like measuring device on the boom tip feeds software that calculates, communicates and records the data
  • Filters out objects on deck and boat movements
  • Operator positions the boom tip over the boat and takes periodic "snapshots" as conditions change
  • Generates load charts in accordance with API 2C
  • Integrates with the CCM7000 and CCM14000

Applications

Retrofit to any Seatrax crane, including on floating structures, or to other manufacturers' cranes with a valid API Spec 2C load chart.
