The lifting industry is evolving and so are the tools that support it. At the forefront of this transformation is Nexxus, a purpose-built asset and crane monitoring system from RGM Cranes that’s reshaping how operators manage service, safety, and performance across their lifting equipment portfolios.
Unlike generic asset platforms, Nexxus has been engineered specifically for the lifting sector, combining AI-powered analytics with real-time dashboards, predictive maintenance tools, and digital compliance tracking. It’s available as both an asset management system and an onboard crane monitoring solution, each designed to eliminate operational blind spots and streamline the way crane infrastructure is managed.
“Nexxus doesn’t just digitise the lifting environment,” says David Dowling, Group Operating Officer / President at RGM Cranes. “It creates a new level of clarity. One where service decisions are data-backed, compliance is seamless, and performance is continuously improving.”
On the service side, Nexxus digitises every element of asset tracking from inspections and repairs to load test registers and technician reviews. Its compliance-first design ensures all documentation is auditable and traceable, with digital sign-off, encrypted storage, and built-in scheduling for both quarterly and six-monthly regulatory inspections. Real-time dashboards offer clear visibility into the status of cranes, breakdown rates, and service history, with up to a 30% reduction in unplanned downtime reported since implementation .
For operational monitoring, Nexxus records every hoist and travel movement, captures overload incidents, and logs electrical motor activity to alert maintenance teams before damage occurs. All events are time-stamped and visualised via intuitive dashboards that help identify usage patterns, schedule preventative maintenance, and extend equipment lifespan.
“It’s a proactive shift from reactive servicing to data-led management providing transparency and control in environments where safety and uptime are critical”, Dowling says.
One of Nexxus’ standout features is its use of AI to generate predictive maintenance alerts and highlight efficiency trends. Clients are no longer waiting for breakdowns. They’re staying ahead of them. Financial analytics are just as powerful, offering a granular breakdown of service, breakdown, and supply costs across sites and buildings to support better budgeting.
For end-users, the result is higher uptime, faster audits, and improved trust. For operators and maintenance teams, it’s the ability to manage cranes more efficiently, reduce excessive or duplicate repairs, and meet compliance obligations with confidence.
“At its core, Nexxus is about enabling smarter, safer lifting,” Dowling adds. “We’re giving operators the tools to see risk before it becomes failure and to take action with confidence.”
Nexxus reflects RGM Cranes’ commitment to innovation and safety in the lifting industry. Whether you’re running a high-capacity manufacturing line or managing cranes across multiple sites, Nexxus offers a smart, scalable way to improve reliability, ensure regulatory compliance, and drive operational excellence.
As the demands on lifting systems grow, so too must the systems that support them. Nexxus is leading the way.
