What is modern crane remote control?

In modern technology, increases the demand for crane remote control in industries. All industries want the safety of workers and workstations so, the use of wireless radio remote control is raised. A radio remote control is used to control any type of equipment and handling heavy material. A crane remote control is small, portable, and handheld device. Crane wireless remote control devices are available in various types.

The bridge crane is an overhead crane. It is a machine that is used to lift and move heavy equipment from one place to another. Bridge cranes are used to move heavy materials over long distances. Remote control systems for bridge cranes cover a longer distance compared to other cranes. These cranes are used in the automotive, manufacturing, steel, warehouse, and construction industries. Depending on the location and travel distance, single or double girder, JIB overhead cranes can be used.

How to control crane accidents using crane control equipment?

A crane accident is common while operating the crane but recently crane accidents is reduced due to crane wireless remote control devices. There are three main areas of risk in any crane operating process: contact of metal parts with the power supply, falling material, and overloading. The failure of one or more components can also cause an accident.

Other causes of crane accidents are unstable crane, heavy load, improper planning, lack of knowledge, and defective components in crane, etc. to avoid an accident crane control equipment is the best solution. Wireless remote control for cranes is helping to control crane operation and avoid a hazardous situation.

A radio remote has two units that are transmitter and receiver. The transmitter transmits the signal generated from the crane remote push button. This signal is in digital form, this encoded signal transmits towards the receiver through an air medium.

The receiver receives an encrypted signal and decodes it. And sends to an assigned relay. The relay activates or deactivates the switch on eot crane control panel. An emergency stop key plays an important role. When the emergency stop button is press then the crane will automatically stop working and avoid any accident.

The transmitter and receiver communication happen more than 10 times in a single second. The transmitter continuously checks the various parameters such as the number of lost data packets, number of successful transmissions, and transmitted and received signal strength.

Types of crane wireless remote control

As we know radio remote control for crane has a transmitter and receiver. Anand wireless radio remote transmitter available in 8 button radio remote control, 12 button radio remote, Joystick wireless remote control.

8 button and 12 button radio remote control working function are same but the difference in no, of push buttons. In 8 button remote control transmitter 8 push buttons that are up-down, forward – reverse, Left- Right, stop and start alarm. And in 12 button push buttons are the same but some extra push buttons are Aux up-down and spare, light on/off button. All transmitters and receivers are highly configurable and customizable and adaptive to any crane.
