Hydraulic Loader Cranes
Hydraulic loader cranes are widely used on trucks and typically require a remote control with between 4 and 6
proportional levers. The FJL remote control is specially designed for this task, and is very compact while being rugged and
reliable. Radio control is strangely under-utilised in Australian truck cranes compared to Europe, and it is common to see
operators performing cumbersome- even dangerous - operations with the manual control levers. Adding a radio control
allows the operator to stand in the place with the best view, and the best safety - not with his back to the load, or in traffic.
One of the barriers to retrofitting radio controls to a truck crane is the cost of the proportional valve bank. But we now offer
a complete retrofit kit that adds a low-pressure proportional control system on top of the existing crane without replacing
the valve bank. This solution offers excellent and responsive control, at a great price. Contact us for details.
Container side-loaders
Container side-loaders are an application similar to loader cranes, but typically comprise two cranes, each with two stages, as well as two or
more stabilisers Proportional control is often not required, although 2-speed control is sometimes implemented. These requirements are well suited to
the LK range, which can be used to implement cost-effective control. More advanced systems, or those with proportional control may make use of the
FJL or FJR systems.
Crane Borers
Machines for installing, removing, and servicing telegraph poles can make use of the advanced
features of the Dynamic series radio remote controls. The system can interface using serial data to the
load-system on the machine to display data and warnings, or communicate over CANOpen to a PLC. Our
Fusion-S safety controller is a PLd controller that can communicate with the radio control, and implement
the safety-relevant and other control functions of the machine.
