Before the advent of wireless remote controls, only two types of controls were used to operate cranes, wired pendant controls and bridge-mounted cabin-operated controls. Both have their advantages and disadvantages, but wireless remote controls effectively solve their cons.
The number of operators:
Conventional: The cabin controller is very effective in operation but generally requires multiple operators to function properly. A person controlling the crane needs help on the ground to lift and place the load. Also, most operations require an additional relief person to discover the operation and guide the operator through verbal or visual instructions.
With wireless remote controls: The operator is located on the floor and can voluntarily perform league and positioning operations, so no additional monitor is required. The operator can also rely on his sight rather than an external personnel guiding. This improves his judgment and saves time.
Position of the operator:
Conventional: With the use of wired pendant crane controls, the operator stands close to the load on the work floor. This allows him to position the load himself by directly entering the line of sight and eliminating the need for support personnel.
This brings new disadvantages. It requires crane operators to follow the path of the crane on the factory floor. As the risk of tripping and falling increases, this puts forth a danger. Therefore, the crane has to move more carefully and slowly, which reduces the operating speed and reduces its efficiency and safety.
With wireless remote: Workers can place the controller in the best bottom position to monitor the movement of the crane, improving visibility. In the case of dangerous heavy objects, the operator can also move away from the heavy objects to control their work at a safe distance. In summary, wireless control liberates the position of load workers, eliminating the need for workers to move with them. Therefore, it provides more workplace safety concerning crane work.
Conclusion:
Major shortcomings over existing controls have been resolved with the advent of wireless remote controls.
All industries and construction projects focus on three basic elements to improve production efficiency:
- high safety standards;
- reliability; and
- plant and machine safety.
SRP offers all the benefits within a single product range. Any beginner can operate it with basic training. SRP remote controls modernize the way jobs are processed. The wireless remote control is the future of the industry. It helps to improve the overall work process, maintain consistency and speed that lasts all day long.
