Load Navigator 2.0

A spreader bar that automatically adjusts the load to keep it from spinning. In partnership with Vita Industrial, Liftgear provides quotes and rentals for the VLN 2.0 system.

Liftgear backs rigging technology that moves the work forward, the way Certfid put a sling's inspection records on the tap of a phone. That's how we found Vita Industrial: a beam that turns the load from a pendant 600 ft away.

Turn the load from a pendant, not a rope.

The VLN reads the load's motion over 1,000 times a second and pulses air from four electric fans to hold or change its heading. The crane still moves the load. The VLN decides which way it faces. Vita says that takes the tag lines off the ground; the lift plan still decides.

The pendant

  • Remote operation from up to 600 ft / 182 m
  • Auto Hold keeps the load on its heading
  • Speed control sets how fast the load turns
  • Standby switches between standby and active
  • Memory buttons save a position for repeat lifts
  • A handshake passes control to a second operator

Rated in t·m², not only tons

A weight rating says whether the beam holds the load. An inertia rating says whether the fans can turn it. Inertia grows with the square of length, so a long panel is far harder to turn than a short one of the same weight.

Fans that move to other beams.

Vita builds the VLN as a fan tube at each end of a spreader beam with a control box between them, and says the fans can be mounted on different spreader bars or on the load itself. Its RocketLever puts them on the back of an offset lifting beam. Whether they fit a particular beam is settled on drawings by Vita and the beam's maker.

Rent one

Liftgear rents the VLN for the job that needs it once. Tell us the dates and the lift, and we send the rigging with it.

Wind

Vita's 2022 FAQ gives control in gusts as high as 30 mph. The crane's own wind limit still applies.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • It's rated for rotation: the direction the load faces. Vita's spec table doesn't rate pendulum swing, so plan the lift as you would without it.
  • Yes. Liftgear rents the VLN. Send the dates, the load and the crane, and we quote the unit with the beam and rigging it needs.
  • Vita lists a 40 mt lift capacity for each standard model. The rated load of the finished assembly, beam and VLN together, is stated by Vita and the beam's maker on your quote.
  • Vita says its fans can be mounted on different spreader bars. Send us the beam's drawing and we'll put the question to Vita.
  • Vita Industrial, in Colorado, designs and builds the Load Navigator. Liftgear and Vita work together: we quote and rent the VLN with our beams, and Vita sends us requests for the full rigging assembly.
