Crane radio remotesWireless controls for overhead cranes & hoists
Improve operator positioning, visibility and control with wireless crane radio remote systems supplied, installed and supported by Durham Lifting for overhead cranes, hoists, gantry cranes and industrial lifting equipment.
Better operator position, visibility and control.
A radio remote allows the operator to move with the lift rather than remain tied to a fixed pendant position.
Clearer view of the lift
Move to a more useful vantage point for load travel and positioning.
More flexible control
Control the crane from a practical position suited to the working area.
Upgrade existing equipment
Radio remote systems can often be integrated into existing cranes and hoists, subject to the controls and application.
Supply, installation & service
Durham Lifting can assess, specify, install, commission and support the control upgrade.
Start with the crane, controls and lifting duty.
The right wireless control arrangement depends on the crane or hoist, the existing control system, the functions that need to be operated and the environment in which the transmitter will be used.
Durham Lifting can review the existing equipment and help identify a suitable radio remote route without making unsupported assumptions about compatibility.
From control review to installed radio remote.
The upgrade should be matched to the existing controls and the way the crane is used.
