Winch Wireless Remote Control

Name: Winch Wireless Remote Control
Brand: Acontrol Remote

Product Overview

What The Winch Wireless Remote Control Is For

The AR-F21-2S is a single speed wireless remote control for winches, hoists, electric carts and other lifting equipment, supplied as a matched transmitter and receiver pair. The transmitter operates on two AA batteries and delivers a control range of up to 100 metres in both vertical and horizontal directions. The receiver is designed to mount on 100kg to 50 tons winches and accepts input voltages of 36V, 220V, 380V or customised options. Both units are rated IP64 and IP65 respectively, making them suitable for use in dusty, wet or vibrating environments without additional protection.

Key Benefits

What You Get From This Unit

Operator can control the winch from up to 100 metres away, eliminating the need to return to the machine to stop or reverse
Single speed operation with two function buttons and dedicated start/stop allows simple, reliable control for basic lifting tasks
IP65 receiver and IP64 transmitter resist dust, water and vibration in harsh industrial settings
Built-in antenna and low power consumption extend battery life and ensure stable signal transmission
Over 4.2 billion unique encoding combinations prevent interference between nearby winches or cranes

Application Scenarios

Where This Model Is Used

Electric winch operation in construction sites where the operator needs to stand clear of the load path
Maintenance teams controlling a winch from a safe distance during equipment inspection or repair
Lifting operations on mobile platforms or in confined spaces where a pendant cable would be impractical
Use on 1 ton to 50 ton winches in mining, agriculture or material handling where remote control improves safety
Retrofitting an existing winch system without rewiring or adding a control panel

Who It Is For

Buyers This Model Suits

Winch and hoist OEMs integrating remote control into new equipment builds
Maintenance contractors replacing a failed or worn pendant control on a winch
Equipment dealers stocking a control unit that fits multiple winch models and voltages
Traders sourcing a low MOQ remote control set from China with fast delivery

Problems It Solves

What Goes Wrong Without It

Operator must run back to the winch to stop or reverse the machine while holding a hose or cable
Pendant cable gets snagged on structures or damaged in a wet or dusty environment
Existing winch panel runs at 36V or 220V and a standard 24V receiver would require a voltage converter
Two winches in close proximity respond to the same control signal due to unpaired transmitters
Operator cannot see the hook or load from the winch control point and relies on hand signals

Materials

What The Housing And Contacts Are Made Of

ABS plastic housing on transmitter and receiver for impact resistance and lightweight handling
Sealed relay contacts rated 5 A to switch contactor coils directly without external relays

Manufacturing Process

How This Unit Is Made

Step 1

Transmitter and receiver boards are assembled on the SMT line and soldered using automatic wave soldering

Step 2

Each set is paired to a unique ID code and channel before final assembly

Step 3

Receiver voltage is configured to match the ordered input voltage before testing

Step 4

Each unit is function tested for signal range, button response and voltage compatibility

Step 5

S/N and channel are printed on the back of both units for future replacement matching

Quality Control

What Is Checked Before It Ships

Raw materials and components are inspected upon arrival
In-process checks occur at every stage of production including soldering and testing
Final function test verifies all buttons, signal range and voltage response
12 month warranty from delivery date with full support for replacements

Customization Options

What Can Be Changed On Your Order

Receiver voltage can be customised to match your existing winch control panel
Button labels can be changed to your preferred English text or symbols
OEM branding and label printing accepted on bulk orders
Two transmitters can be paired to one receiver for backup or dual-operator use

Comparison

How It Compares With The Alternatives

Wired pendant control station	Remote removes the trailing cable but adds battery replacement and receiver installation; a pendant is cheaper and never needs pairing
F24-8D with double speed and 8 buttons	The AR-F21-2S is simpler and cheaper for basic winch control; double speed is unnecessary if only one motion is needed
Joystick remote control	Push buttons are faster to train on and more reliable in dusty or wet conditions; a joystick offers proportional control but is more complex and costly

Use Guide

Getting It Onto The Machine

Confirm the control voltage on the winch panel before ordering the receiver
Count the number of motions needed; the AR-F21-2S supports two functions plus start/stop
Mount the receiver inside the winch control box with the 1 m cable running to the contactor terminals
Watch the transmitter LED: slow red flashing indicates low battery – replace two AA batteries
