Operating a boom truck in Saudi Arabia’s demanding oil and gas industry requires precision, awareness, and an unwavering commitment to safety. Every lift involves complex calculations of weight, radius, and boom angle – factors that can change in an instant.
A Boom Truck Load Moment Indicator (LMI) is not just an accessory; it’s your critical co-pilot. It’s designed to prevent overloads, protect your equipment, and safeguard your personnel. It transforms guesswork into real-time data, empowering operators to lift smarter, safer, and more efficiently across the Kingdom.
A Load Moment Indicator is an advanced electronic safety system that continuously monitors the actual load moment (the product of the lifted weight and its distance from the boom’s pivot point). It compares this value to the boom truck’s rated capacity at any given configuration (boom length, angle, and extension). Think of it as your truck’s “intelligent safety brain”:
Monitors load weight, boom angle, and boom extension.
Computes the actual load moment in real-time.
Check this against the pre-programmed safe load chart for your specific boom truck model.
Provides clear warnings and can even intervene to prevent dangerous situations.
Our systems are designed to meet and exceed the stringent compliance requirements of Saudi Arabia’s industry leaders. They ensure your operations maintain the highest safety standards as mandated by the Kingdom’s vision for industrial excellence.
Engineered to perform flawlessly in extreme heat (up to 55°C), dust, and humidity conditions typical of Saudi worksites. Our systems feature specialized cooling and dust filtration for electronic components, from the Eastern Province to the Red Sea coast.
We offer unique Predictive Diagnostics and Automated Compliance Reporting. These features maximize uptime and simplify audits for Saudi Aramco, SABIC, and other major industrial operators, reducing paperwork by up to 70%.
Get fast, expert installation, calibration, and support from our Saudi-certified technicians. We are based throughout Saudi Arabia, including Dammam, Riyadh, Jeddah, and Jubail. Our team includes Saudi nationals trained to the highest international standards.
| STAGE | COMPONENT | FUNCTION | SAUDI USE CASE |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1. Smart Sensors | Load/Pressure Sensor | Measures hydraulic pressure or strain on lifting line (±0.5% accuracy) | Heavy lifts on Aramco cross-country pipelines where ground stability varies in the Empty Quarter |
| Boom Angle Sensor | Detects real-time boom tilt (0.1° resolution) | Sloped construction zones in NEOM and Riyadh mountain projects | |
| Extension Sensor | Tracks telescopic boom length (±5mm accuracy) | High-reach urban projects in Dammam (e.g., skyscraper facade installation) | |
| 2. System Intelligence | Central Processor | Calculates Actual Load Moment (Weight × Radius) 100×/second | Data-driven lifting decisions during SABIC refinery turnarounds in Yanbu |
| Digital Load Chart | Compares real-time data to OEM-rated capacity (SAES-B-006 compliant) | Ensures Aramco/SABIC compliance during critical lifts near live infrastructure | |
| 3. Operator Alerts | In-Cab Display |
Shows % of capacity with: 🟢 Green (Safe) 🟡 Yellow (Warning) 🔴 Red (Overload) |
Real-time safety monitoring in Jubail petrochemical plants (sunlight-readable 7″ HD) |
| Audible Alarm | Escalating tones (85–110 dB) as limits approached/exceeded | Alerts in noisy jobsites (e.g., Yanbu refinery construction, drilling rigs) | |
| 4. Active Safety Control | Function Lockout | Prevents boom-up, hoist-up, or extend during overload conditions | Avoids operator error during high-pressure lifts on Aramco gas projects in the Ghawar field |
| Safe Movement Mode | Only permits safe movements (boom-down, retract, lower) during overload | Prevents tip-overs during emergency lifts in Riyadh metro tunnels |
The unique challenges of the Kingdom’s environment make a reliable LMI system indispensable for safe and compliant operations.
Meeting the standards of Saudi Aramco, SABIC, Ma’aden, and the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development (MHRSD) is mandatory.
Our LMIs are designed to comply with Saudi Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulations and the Saudi Building Code. This helps operators avoid costly violations and shutdowns.
Our LMIs are ruggedized to thrive in the extreme heat, dust, and vibration of Saudi worksites. They ensure reliable performance from the Empty Quarter to the Red Sea coast.
Our systems feature specialized dust filtration and heat dissipation technologies. These are specifically designed for Saudi conditions.
Protecting expensive equipment on critical refineries, rigs, and pipelines is paramount. Our LMIs help safeguard your investments by preventing accidents.
These incidents could result in significant financial losses and project delays. Such delays are particularly costly in Saudi Arabia’s fast-paced development environment.
LMIs proactively prevent the leading cause of boom truck accidents – overloading and tip-overs. This supports a zero-incident culture that Saudi Arabia’s major industrial companies demand.
It is a key component of Saudi Vision 2030’s focus on workplace safety.
In Saudi Arabia’s vast upstream sector, including the world’s largest oil field at Ghawar, our LMIs provide critical safety support during:
For Saudi Arabia’s massive refining and petrochemical complexes, including those in Jubail and Yanbu, our systems excel at:
As Saudi Arabia expands its power and water infrastructure, our LMIs support:
Supporting Saudi Vision 2030’s ambitious construction projects:
Our systems are designed with Saudi cultural considerations in mind.
Addressing the unique composition of Saudi Arabia’s workforce.
Systems optimized for different regions of Saudi Arabia.
