The Buddie System – Instant Safety Alert, 
That Protects Your People and Your Business

Safety from the ground up.

At Bullivants, we know that safety isn’t just a priority, it’s a responsibility. That’s why we’re proud to support The Buddie System (TBS), a wireless instant safety alert device designed to protect crane operators, riggers, and dogmen in high-risk environments.

With 30% of crane-related accidents involving miscommunication, The Buddie System offers a smarter, faster way to respond to emergencies, helping prevent injuries, fatalities, and costly disruptions.


What is The Buddie System?

The Buddie System is a simple yet powerful safety device that enables instant communication between riggers and crane operators. A quick snap of the lanyard worn by the dogman or rigger sends a wireless alert to the crane-mounted alarm system, instructing the operator to stop immediately. It’s that simple. Each crane alarm can pair with up to ten lanyards, and the system has a wireless range of up to one kilometre, depending on environmental conditions. Designed in Australia by local crane professionals, the Buddie System is built with practical, on-site functionality in mind and features patent-pending technology.

Why It Matters

Traditional communication tools like radios and whistles can fail when seconds count. The Buddie System fills that gap with instant alarm activation and ultra-low latency signal transmission. The alarm is loud and clear, even in noisy environments, and the crane-mounted unit includes an LCD display that shows all connected lanyards. It also features low battery alerts and a simple charging system, ensuring it’s ready when needed most.

Built for Real-World Conditions 

The Buddie System is engineered for durability and ease of use. It’s water and dust resistant to IP54 standards, compact and lightweight, and designed to withstand the rigours of daily site operations. The flexible mounting system allows the crane alarm to be installed on a variety of surfaces, while the quick-pair feature makes it easy for dogmen to move between cranes. With ultra-low power consumption, the system supports all-day usage without interruption.

Safety That Scales

Whether you're managing a single crane or coordinating multiple teams across a large site, The Buddie System is simple to set up, scalable across operations, and cost-effective. It supports compliance with safety regulations and promotes a proactive safety culture. The system also aligns with three out of five levels in the hierarchy of controls, substitution, engineering controls, and PPE, making it a valuable addition to any site’s safety strategy.

Protect Your People. Safeguard Your Business.

The Buddie System isn’t just a device, it’s a vital safety link. It helps reduce risk, avoid downtime, and build confidence with clients and industry partners. By improving communication and response times in critical moments, it plays a key role in protecting your team and your operations.
