HOISTCAM for locomotive & rail 

Rail and locomotive cranes are essential for maintaining track infrastructure, recovering derailed equipment, and performing heavy lifts in rail yards and along mainlines. These environments are often constrained, remote, or obstructed, making visibility from the operator’s cab a serious challenge. HoistCam wireless camera systems give operators the ability to see real-time video from the hook, boom tip, or work zone, allowing for faster, safer, and more accurate lifts in high-risk rail environments.

Designed for rugged conditions, HoistCam systems mount magnetically and wirelessly transmit live video back to the operator’s in-cab monitor. Whether lifting rail segments, re-railing locomotives, or moving construction materials along the right-of-way, HoistCam enhances situational awareness and reduces the need for ground spotters or radio reliance.

For railroads, maintenance-of-way crews, and emergency response teams, HoistCam improves job site safety, shortens lift cycles, and helps reduce downtime, especially in urgent recovery scenarios. The optional HoistCam Director system extends capabilities to supervisors and command centers, enabling remote monitoring, coordination, and incident documentation.

Whether operating in a busy rail yard or along isolated stretches of track, HoistCam ensures rail crane operators have the visibility they need to perform critical lifts safely and efficiently. It’s a valuable tool for infrastructure maintenance, derailment recovery, and trackside construction in today’s rail industry.
