Boom Equipment Safety Monitoring

The boom is out. Know what the load is doing.

Pondus is a portable multi-sensor advisory system for boom-equipped heavy equipment. Real-time tilt, outrigger pressure, and wind data — for operators in the cab and fleet managers back at the office.

The Moment That Matters

When the boom is fully out, bad things happen fast.

Every time a boom extends to full reach, the stability envelope tightens. Operators are skilled — but they are working from limited real-time data. Fleet managers find out about problems after the fact.

01

Body roll happens silently.

A truck that looks level from the ground may not be. TiltNode monitors body roll and incline across all axes.

02

Setup conditions change underfoot.

Outriggers shift. Ground compresses. The operator cannot feel it from the cab. OutNode watches every pad.

03

Wind at 150 feet is not wind on the ground.

Ground-level readings miss the exposure. WindNode mounts at the boom tip and reports what is actually there.

The Pondus BoomNode System

Three nodes. One operator workflow. One management plane.

The Pondus "-Node" family maps directly to the hardware architecture. Each field sensor brick is a node. BoomNode is the master system.

Pondus TiltNode

Body roll and incline

Reports setup integrity and truck movement across all axes. The operator is not working from guesswork when the boom is loaded.

Pondus OutNode

Outrigger pressure

Shows how load is carried at each pad. Flags unloading conditions before setup failure becomes an event.

Pondus WindNode

Wind at the boom tip

Actual wind data at height, not ground level. Flags unsafe velocity and direction where the exposure is real.

Pondus BoomNode

The master system

Brings TiltNode, OutNode, WindNode, the operator app, and fleet management into one advisory visibility layer.

How It Works

From sensor to operator to fleet manager, in real time.

1

Sensors

TiltNode, OutNode, and WindNode monitor continuously. Magnetically mounted, battery-powered, no vehicle wiring.

2

Operator iPhone

Live readings, inspection-required states, and re-zero guidance. Apple Watch haptic alerts when conditions change fast.

3

Cloud

Alert events and operator actions stream continuously. Serious and severe episodes are logged and reviewable.

4

Fleet review

Managers see truck locations, operator assignments, and which critical alerts need immediate coaching.

Built Right

An advisory layer. Not a machine controller.

Pondus does not connect to, command, stop, or override the host machine. It gives trained people better information while existing operator, employer, and OEM responsibilities stay fully in force.

Pondus Is
  • Supplemental advisory monitoring
  • Operator visibility tool
  • Fleet review platform
  • Non-interfering — no vehicle wiring
  • Works alongside existing OEM systems
Pondus Is Not
  • Machine controller or emergency stop
  • OEM safety system replacement
  • Proof of safe operation
  • A substitute for trained operator judgment
