New technologies such as sensors and cameras can help detect potential hazards and provide early warning systems to prevent incidents. Crane companies may invest in these technologies to improve safety and reduce the risk of incidents. For example, sensors can detect if a load is unbalanced or if the crane is leaning and warn operators to take corrective action. Additionally, cameras can provide crane operators with a better view of the work site, to identify any changes in conditions or hazards.  

The greatest technological development in the crane industry will be automation and robotics. Through the introduction of Artificial Intelligence (AI), cranes can become more autonomous and perform more complex tasks. Evidently, this would increase productivity, reduce labour costs, and overall improve safety.   

The future possibility of remote-controlled cranes could become more widespread, reducing the need for human operators to be on site which would decrease the risk of possible accidents and injuries. These cranes could be controlled from remote locations, thus also increasing efficiency. 

All industries will see drastic changes in the coming years driven by technological developments. These advancements are only a few of the ways that technology will impact the crane industry. Although, it is evident that the result of these advancements will increase productivity, reduce labour costs, improve safety and enhance overall efficiency.
