Controls For Construction Equipment
Construction equipment such as tower cranes, davit cranes, lifts and monorails often operate in harsh environments where a reliable control system is essential. Acontrol Remote supplies radio remote controls with IP65 enclosures, 80 channel
What Construction Equipment Need From A Control
Construction equipment such as tower cranes, davit cranes, lifts and monorails often operate in harsh environments where a reliable control system is essential. Acontrol Remote supplies radio remote controls with IP65 enclosures, 80 channels with 0.2675 MHz spacing, over 4.3 billion unique ID codes, and receiver voltages from AC380V down to AC/DC12V, ensuring the transmitter only controls the intended machine. The system includes an emergency stop and a range up to 100 meters, making it suitable for outdoor and industrial construction sites.
What Goes Wrong On These Machines
- The control cable on a pendant gets damaged in tight spaces or when moving equipment
- A radio signal from a nearby crane causes unintended machine movement
- The control unit fails in rain, dust or high humidity due to poor enclosure sealing
- The receiver voltage does not match the machine’s control panel voltage
- A single operator needs to control multiple machines and cannot switch transmitters easily
What The Control Has To Do
- A radio remote control with IP65 enclosure to survive outdoor and dusty construction sites
- A receiver that matches the machine’s panel voltage from AC380V down to AC/DC12V
- 80 channels with 0.2675 MHz spacing and over 4.3 billion unique ID codes to prevent interference
- Emergency stop that cuts power directly, not through the PLC or control logic
- One-piece supply for a breakdown or replacement without requiring a full order
Models That Suit This Duty
Where These Controls Are Fitted
- Tower cranes on high-rise construction sites exposed to wind, rain and temperature extremes
- Davit cranes used on shipyards and docks with frequent exposure to salt spray and moisture
- Lifts and monorails in prefabrication yards where the operator moves between multiple machines
- Construction cranes operating in dusty environments like concrete batching plants
- Mobile equipment on site where the operator must stay clear of the load path
From Enquiry To Machine
Step 1
Provide the machine voltage, motion count, and operating environment with the enquiry
Step 2
A model is selected from the F21, F23 or F24 series based on voltage, IP rating, and channel count
Step 3

Frequently Asked Questions
Can the receiver work with my machine’s panel voltage?
Yes. Receiver voltages range from AC380V down to AC/DC12V, so it can match your panel voltage exactly.
Is the radio control safe in a busy construction site?
Yes. With 80 channels, 0.2675 MHz spacing, and over 4.3 billion unique ID codes, interference from nearby machines is prevented.
What is the operating range?
The system has a range up to 100 meters in open conditions, suitable for most construction equipment.
Can I use one transmitter for multiple machines?
No. Each transmitter is matched to a specific receiver by S/N and channel. Use a separate transmitter for each machine.
What IP rating does the enclosure have?
All enclosures are IP65, protecting against dust and water jets, suitable for outdoor and harsh environments.
Do you accept custom button text?
Yes. OEM orders allow custom button text and brand printing on the transmitter.
