What The Bridge Crane Remote Control F24-8D Is For
The F24-8D is a double speed radio remote control for bridge and overhead cranes, supplied as a matched transmitter and receiver pair. Eight function buttons deliver 14 control motions at two speeds, enabling precise load positioning without a cab or pendant cable. Control range extends up to 100 metres, and both units are rated IP65, allowing reliable operation in outdoor yards, wash-down bays, and dusty environments. The receiver is built to order for AC380V, 220V, 110V, 48V, 36V, 24V or AC/DC12V, so it connects directly to an existing contactor panel without a transformer.
What You Get From This Unit
- Operator can stand where the load is visible instead of beside the machine or in a cab
- Double speed control on all motions allows fast travel and slow approach without extra hardware
- IP65 protection on both transmitter and receiver ensures operation in rain, dust and wash-down areas
- Receiver voltage matched to panel eliminates need for a control transformer
- Over 4.3 billion unique ID codes prevent interference between cranes in the same bay
Where This Model Is Used
- Single girder and double girder overhead cranes in fabrication and assembly shops
- Bridge and EOT cranes where the cab view of the hook is obstructed
- Mobile lifting equipment, electric carts, hoists, winches and superwinches
- Outdoor gantry cranes exposed to rain, wind and airborne dust
- Retrofit of an existing pendant-controlled crane without modifying the motor panel
Buyers This Model Suits
- Crane and hoist OEMs specifying controls into new machine builds
- Maintenance teams replacing a failed or unsafe pendant station
- Equipment dealers stocking a control unit that fits multiple machine voltages
- Traders sourcing a radio control set from China at low MOQ
What Goes Wrong Without It
- Operator must walk with the load while holding a pendant cable that snags on structures
- Cab operator cannot see the hook and relies on a second person to signal
- Existing panel runs AC110V and a standard 24V receiver would require an extra transformer
- Two cranes in the same bay respond to the wrong transmitter
How The Unit Is Built
- 10 push buttons: 8 double speed function buttons, 1 emergency stop, 1 on/off switch
- 14 control motions from eight double speed buttons
- Transmitter LED flashes green when battery power is sufficient and red when depleted
- Glass fibre housing on both transmitter and receiver for impact resistance

What The Housing And Contacts Are Made Of
- Glass fibre transmitter and receiver housings for impact resistance on a shop floor
- Sealed relay contacts rated 5 A so the receiver switches contactor coils directly
How This Unit Is Made
Step 1
Boards are populated on the SMT line and soldered on the automatic wave soldering machine
Step 2
Transmitter and receiver are paired to a unique ID code and channel before assembly
Step 3
Each set is function tested against the ordered receiver voltage before packing
Step 4
S/N and channel are printed on the back of both units so a replacement can be matched later
What Is Checked Before It Ships
- Raw material through finished product is inspected step by step on the production line
- Working process follows ISO9001:2008
- Every set is powered up and each motion is checked before it leaves the line
- 12 month warranty from delivery
What Can Be Changed On Your Order
- Receiver voltage selected from the listed range at order time
- Button text supplied as arrow tips or as your own English labels
- Two transmitters paired to one receiver, or a spare transmitter added to the set
- Own brand and label printing accepted on OEM orders
How It Compares With The Alternatives
| Wired pendant control station | Radio removes the trailing cable but adds batteries to change and a receiver to wire in; a pendant is cheaper and never needs pairing |
|---|---|
| F24-6D with six buttons | The 8D adds two more double speed motions; if the machine only has hoist, long travel and cross travel the 6D is the cheaper fit |
| Joystick sets such as F24-60 | Push buttons are faster to train an operator on; a joystick gives proportional control that push buttons cannot |
Getting It Onto The Machine
- Confirm the control voltage on the existing crane panel before ordering the receiver
- Count the motions the machine actually needs, then choose the button count with one spare
- Mount the receiver inside the panel with the 1 m cable running to the contactor terminals
- Watch the transmitter LED: slow red flashing means change the two batteries
- Record the S/N and channel from the back of both units so a lost transmitter can be replaced without changing the receiver

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the minimum order quantity?
One set. A single sample is available so you can test it on the machine before committing to volume.
How long is delivery?
Around 2-4 days for a sample order and about 7 days for a small volume order, then 3-8 days by FedEx or DHL.
Which receiver voltage should I order?
Match the control voltage on the crane panel. The receiver is built for AC380V, 220V, 110V, 48V, 36V, 24V or AC/DC12V, so tell us the panel voltage with the order.
Can I get a replacement transmitter only?
Yes. Send the S/N and CH printed on the back of your receiver and we build a new transmitter on the same channel, so the receiver stays in place.
Will two cranes in the same bay interfere?
Each set is coded with one of over 4.3 billion unique ID codes and runs on 80 channels, so a transmitter only answers its own paired receiver.
Can the button text be changed?
Yes. Arrow tips are standard and your own English button text and brand can be printed on OEM orders.
How is it packed?
One set per box at 46 x 24.4 x 14.8 cm, six sets per carton at 76.3 x 49.3 x 33 cm.
