Radio remote control systems allow crane operators to control hoists and lifting systems wirelessly from a safe distance. Designed for compatibility with overhead, jib, gantry, and monorail cranes, these systems improve visibility, precision, and flexibility in industrial environments. With operating ranges up to several hundred feet and support for multi-function commands, radio remotes are ideal for use in manufacturing plants, construction sites, warehouses, and shipping yards.
By removing the need for pendant controls or cab-based operation, radio remote controls reduce operator fatigue and allow for more precise positioning of loads. Workers can remain outside of hazardous zones while still maintaining full control over crane functions—improving overall workflow and minimizing handling errors.
Radio remote systems from Hercules Lifting meet all applicable safety regulations and include critical features such as emergency stop buttons, signal encryption, anti-interference channels, and diagnostics for monitoring system performance. Units are designed for industrial durability, with shock-resistant casings and secure, waterproof enclosures.
Whether you're upgrading existing crane equipment or designing a new system from scratch, adding a radio remote control enhances safety, performance, and operator confidence. Hercules Lifting provides full installation and configuration support, ensuring smooth integration into your existing infrastructure.
