ERNE yours, with ERNE.
From inner-city sky lines to outback mining towns- Erne Lifting delivers cutting-edge lifting systems and safety gear built for sustainability, efficiency, comfort, confidence, and protection.
At the core is the Vita Load Navigator (VLN 2.0)—a wind-resistant, tagline-eliminating stabilisation system that redefines what’s possible in crane operations. Using AI and aerospace-grade motion sensors, the VLN provides full or semi-autonomous load management from up to 200 metres away, keeping crews safe and projects moving—even when others are shutdown.
We’re proud to partner with Vita Industrial, MDM Lifting, and Maxisafe Australia to deliver smarter lifts, safer sites, and on-time outcomes—seven days a week— rain, wind or shine.
Tired of site shutdowns every time the wind picks up?
Frustrated by crane-related injuries dragging down morale—and watching insurance premiums climb while productivity stalls?
Well, there is some good news…
The VLN 2.0 is here and it isn’t just a lifting system—it’s a game changer!
Built for productivity, engineered for precision and designed to keep crews safe in real-world conditions, the VLN is redefining what possible - everywhere cranes are.
Gulf winds, Gladstone steel, Sydney skyline—your projects speak volumes, we just looking to turn it up— just like the VLN 2.0 does day in and day out, it turns up and adjusts. New environment, same delivered load intelligence that keeps your operations safe, compliant, delivered at impeccable quality and ahead of schedule.
The future of lifting is here

VLN 2.0 Feature Highlights
With more features than you can throw a stick at, it’s no wonder that we keep hearing the same two words said over and again — ‘No-Brainer’.
-
200% Increase in lifts and crane utilisation.
“Without the VLN, we'd set 4-5 panels [per hour]With it, we were able to pick and set in a timelier fashion – just 5 minutes per panel instead of 15.
The VLN proved particularly effective for vertical panels, weighing up to 12,000 lbs. and measuring between 20-35 ft. With a 1-degree plumb and squareness, the VLN offered optimal control”

-
Fewer incidents. Safer crews.
-
Protecting lives.
-
Keep working while other sites shutdown.
“We were the only consistent subcontractor on a site with 50 different subcontractors. When everybody else had to shut down due to wind-outs, we kept working. Additionally, we had to deal with at least 15 changes to the erection sequence, but we knew that thanks to the VLN, no matter what we were faced with, the timing was always going to be the same. Whenever you have consistency with the schedule, you have reduced costs.”

Precise load placement
The ability to rotate the Vita load device by remote control is a God send, enabling us to position the load in the precise orientation for safely entering the Plenum confines and lowering to pit bottom safely and without the fear of wall strikes during descent or wind action rotating the load mid lift.
I can safely say I will not hesitate to recommend this device and have done already to numerous other works managers here on HS2 and further afield.“

Tracks motion, wind, and load behavior in real time.
-
All-day endurance.
-
Dustproof. Water-resistant. Built for harsh sites.
-
Built for serious lifts
-
No one in the danger zone under neath the load. No taglines.
“One of the biggest challenges we have when erecting a tower crane is running long taglines through a congested job site.
Using Vita’s system can eliminate that. We did not have to run through an obstacle course, making it much more efficient and safer for the crew."

Repetitive Lifts, remembered and simplified.
“I got to see this pick up a 20-foot container in the wind and I was amazed at how it holds its position while the crane slewed the container around.
The operator put the unit into standby mode; the container moved about 70 degrees from its GPS set location. Once the operator turned it back on the system automatically moved the container back to the exact GPS location set.”Mark Rouse

Industry Application
What’s the latest?
Our upgraded VLN 2.0 brings a host of improvements to enhance safety, efficiency, and precision control on your projects.
Almost double the energy capacity of the VLN 1.0, providing you with extended battery life, and the redesigned Control Box supports a wide range of rigging angles, making it compatible with various lift types to meet your project's unique requirements.
A completely re-engineered data fusion algorithm and sensor suite vastly improve precision and accuracy in GPS-challenged environments. The interfaces between the VLN Control Box, Thruster Fan tubes, and Lifting Beams have been upgraded, giving YOU the power to adjust your VLN setup anytime, anywhere.
