Skyline Cockpit
Skyline Cockpit is an advanced lifting solution that brings the crane operator down to ground level and transfers all lifting operations to a smart, secure, and comfortable control station. The system was developed by Skyline specifically for complex construction sites and combines next-generation safety, real-time control, and significant productivity improvements. Skyline Cockpit is already shining in large projects in Israel, the UK, and Finland and represents a whole new level of performance in the world of lifting.
Advantages
Significant reduction in lifting times—thanks to full visibility of the site, smooth communication with the team, and computerized crane management.
Increased productivity—real-time navigation, communication, and decision-making systems allow the ground operator to work in full synchronization with the teams.
Incomparable safety—the ground operation, together with various safety indicators, creates a safer working environment.
Continuous monitoring and improvement of site efficiency—The system collects, analyzes, and displays real-time data: lifting times, waiting times, loads, malfunctions, and usability.

The crane serves as an information center
The Skyline Cockpit system collects data on crane movement, loads, operating hours, waiting times, and number of lifts, enabling monitoring and improvement of site performance and lifting schedules. The crane transforms from a performance element to a provider of information about the construction site’s performance.
A new global standard
Skyline Cockpit is not a future solution but is presently present in construction sites. The system operates regularly at active sites in Europe and Asia, enabling remote operation of full-height tower cranes at an operational and safety level that is the new standard in the industry.
FAQ
Skyline Cockpit is a remote control and monitoring system for cranes, designed to improve efficiency, safety, and working conditions on construction sites. The system allows operators to work from a comfortable and safe control position, with a 360-degree site panorama view and a full display of the load line, hook, and weather conditions. It also supports multiple crane management and enables efficient operation even in challenging conditions.
The use of the system has led to an increase of up to 23% in crane performance times and an improvement of approximately 8% in overall operational productivity. In addition, the system allows work to continue even in harsh weather conditions or limited visibility, which improves project continuity and efficiency.
The system is suitable for all types of cranes and incorporates advanced technologies from the automotive and military industries, together with Skyline’s engineering expertise. This combination provides a particularly high level of control, safety, and precision in crane management at modern construction sites.
On top of the code-based access control system that is installed on the door and prevents access to the cockpit by anyone who is not supposed to be there, the Skyline Cockpit is equipped with an automatic facial recognition system. Once activated, only those who have been cleared and authorized to operate the crane will be able to enter the cockpit and operate the crane.
