The importance of remote control systems in modern crane operations cannot be overstated. Radio remote control technology provides an unparalleled level of operational efficiency and safety, giving its users an edge in today’s competitive logistics, construction, and transportation industries.
HMF Remote Control System Options
At HMF Australia, we provide premium mini and maxi remote controls designed to meet your specific needs, offering flexible display options including no display, info centre, or power display configurations, and we specialise in lever-operated remotes for superior control and reliability.
Power Display Technology
HMF’s Power Display offers the enhanced information feed of a full-screen display, directly integrated into your radio remote control. Complete with real-time feedback, which enhances safety and efficiency, the Power Display is a direct communication link with the crane, providing the operator with real-time load data and component performance under load.
This real-time capacity monitoring improves operational efficiency, as well as bringing benefits to operator decision making and safety by providing timely warnings if limitations or imbalances are in danger of being approached.
Integration with Safety Systems
The HMF remote control system also provides seamless integration with RCL (Rate Capacity Limiter) and EVS (Electronic Vehicle Stability) systems, offering a comprehensive safety solution to loading and unloading.
Built into this system are emergency stop functions and other critical safety functions, including radio remote control of all stabiliser functions.
This integration creates a comprehensive safety ecosystem offering all the information required for an operator to safely deliver a load.
Proportional Control Benefits
Proportional control allows the crane’s movements to correspond directly to the amount of pressure applied to the controls. The pressure impacts the speed and power of the crane’s rotation, elevation, and extension. A feather touch is all that is required on the controls to effectively and efficiently handle even heavy loads.
Customisation and Ergonomics
All of our radio remote controls come delivered with a neck strap and body belt for ease of use, contributing to the long-term health of your operators.
Real-World Applications
HMF’s remote control system is an essential part of the toolbox of an operator in construction, logistics, or other transportation, such as waste management. Loads, from skip bins to steel beams, can be safely loaded and unloaded by a single operator at a safe distance.
With instant communication between the controls and the crane, remote operation allows the user to follow the load’s journey and make tweaks and small adjustments from the best possible vantage point, sharply reducing any risk of damage to the load or site as well as the risk of injury or accident.
Implementation and Training
The HMF system balances the latest technological advancement with adaptable, user-friendly operation, so some training may be required to fully understand how the controls operate. However, the learning curve is not steep, and training and support resources from HMF will see even new operators handling the controls with skill and efficiency in no time at all.
Save Time and Money with the HMF Advantage
HMF provides an unparalleled advantage with our Radio Remote Control options, available to be used with your crane truck. Offering improved safety and stability, advanced touch controls, and integrated software that keeps you updated as you load and unload, HMF’s remote systems both cut the time spent on loading and unloading and improve your bottom line.
