Control systems used in material lifting cranes play a crucial role in operating and maneuvering the crane safely and efficiently. Here are some common control systems used in material lifting cranes:
Pendant Control: Pendant controls consist of a handheld pendant with buttons or switches that the operator uses to control the movement of the crane. The pendant is connected to the crane by a flexible cable, allowing the operator to move around while operating the crane. Pendant controls are commonly used in smaller and medium-sized cranes and provide direct and precise control over the crane’s movements.
Radio Remote Control: Radio remote control systems allow the operator to control the crane wirelessly from a distance. It typically includes a handheld transmitter that communicates with a receiver unit installed on the crane. Radio remote controls provide flexibility and freedom of movement for the operator, allowing them to operate the crane from a safe vantage point or different locations. They are commonly used in larger cranes or in situations where the operator needs to have a better view of the lifting operation.
It’s worth noting that the control systems used in material lifting cranes can vary depending on the crane’s size, complexity, and application requirements. The choice of control system should consider factors such as operator comfort, safety, ease of use, and the specific needs of the lifting operation. Manufacturers often provide specific control system options based on the crane model and customer preferences.
