Acquisition Combines Companies' Domain Expertise and Technology Synergies Across Multiple Industries
LSI's technologies improve crane safety and accuracy by providing operators and construction teams with detailed knowledge to optimize usage conditions and processes. The company's products include load cells and pins, line-riding tensiometers, load moment indicator (LMI) systems with pressure transducers, rated-capacity indicators (RCI) and limiters, inclinometers, cable reels, wind speed sensors and displays, work-area definition software, and much more. LSI's Radio Transmitter Division also provides radio transmitters, wireless gateways and radio modems for general industrial applications.
"Crane safety is a major concern in any construction material handling project, with major impacts to safety, costs, liability, insurance and timely completion," said Bryn Fosburgh, vice president responsible for Trimble's Construction Technology Divisions. "Trimble's commitment to transform construction processes and facilitate more effective projects doesn't end at ground level. The combination of LSI's solutions with Trimble's geospatial, location, analytics, modeling and visualization tools provides opportunities to integrate crane safety more closely into construction project planning and execution." |
