If you own a small mono-boom or articulated cranes with low volume hydraulic systems, you can now be pleased to know that Technocrane Inc has offered the wireless remote control system for the product you bought. This wireless remote control system is reliable, versatile and affordable. New BIGMAX cranes from Technocrane’s stock can now be shipped with wireless controls. In addition, BIGMAX cranes currently in service with manual controls can now be economically retrofitted with wireless controls.
Wireless controls were offered and used on large articulated cranes more than twenty years ago. Most big articulated cranes now come with wireless, or radio controls. Small mono-boom cranes owners can now be happy with the new wireless solution provided by Technocrane. Instead of being operated manually, the small mono-boom cranes now come with wireless controls.
Have you ever wondered why it took so much time for wireless controls to be accepted for small cranes? You can find the reasons below:
The first reason is that small crane operators can still manage without having to use remote controls. Small cranes have a shorter boom and therefore the load hook is usually less than 15 feet from the operator on the ground.
The second reason is, it is very costly to add a reliable FAC approved wireless controls. A small crane with wireless controls, in the past, could increase its cost by 50%. You could find cheaper controls options on the market; but they were not a reliable and safe option.
One more reason is, it really took time to own a small crane with wireless controls. In the past, if you wanted to own a small crane with wireless controls, you had to purchase from the factory in Europe with the lead times of 90 to 120 days. It was not easy that time to retrofit radio controls to the cranes in stock.
Technocrane Inc are now proud to be able to provide wireless solutions for small cranes. All of their BIGMAX cranes can now come with Hectronic wireless controls. Hectronic is a reliable wireless solution. Reliability is excellent and people have been able to purchase controls for a reasonable price for the first time. More interestingly, the radio controls can be added at the warehouse instead of the factory. This saves time and money.
The new wireless controls come with three or four functions. This solution can directly replace the original control valve which has been lasted for years. The Hetronic handheld transmitter is available with 4 functions with or without additional PMW toggle switches for other non crane functions.
The electronic control valve is sectional and proportional. It includes man-sized emergency, manual over-ride levers to allow the crane to be operated manually in the event of an electrical problem, or if the transmitter is lost or broken. The wiring harness, which uses DIN connectors, is weather proofed for outdoor use.
Wireless remotes for cranes bring the convenience to your work. Small articulated cranes wireless remote control by Technocrane Inc are reliable, safe and affordable.
