Hoist Remote Controls
Remote control pendants for hoists and electric hoists: design features, types of pushbutton sections, selection criteria by hoist brand and task.
A hoist remote control is a device for remote control of an electric hoist or other lifting mechanism in production. The radio-controlled unit is installed on a crane girder or hoist, which simplifies and extends the operation of the mechanism.
Features
Models differ in operating principle, brand and modification depending on the type of hoist. The housing is made of durable plastic, the cable connection is made through a rubber component, and the number of control keys is up to 12, including deactivators.
Models are equipped with stop keys with locking in a set position and a lock mechanism that prevents unauthorized interference with operation.
Using remote controls delivers the following results:
- Improved safety and better working conditions for personnel during loading and unloading of goods.
- Reduced resource costs for maintenance.
- Increased labor productivity due to the precision and convenience of pushbutton mechanisms for crane and hoist devices.
Types
Remote controls are equipped with 1–6 sections with control buttons and marking elements. Sections are fitted with the following types of buttons:
- Single travel speed.
- Two control speeds when pressing one key.
- Emergency stop keys for the device — with and without a locking mechanism.
How to choose
The choice depends on the brand and model of the hoist used, the connection method, load capacity and the tasks to be solved in production or at home with the remote control. It is recommended to choose remote controls made by manufacturers with a proven reputation.
