Cranes are useful and critical to a plethora of industries such as construction, manufacturing, warehousing, metal production, grain, logging, delivery loading, and rail yards. The reliance on cranes in those industries for loading, unloading, and transferring heavy substances will continue to be for the foreseeable future. This requires a keen check on maintaining and enhancing operational protection with the right protection protocols in place.
Wireless remote controls are now widely adopted to ensure safety while operating complex cranes.
How can wireless controls reduce the risk?
A higher chance of injuries because of falling substances is inevitable until the operator can be located at a secure distance from the load. The position of the operator is crucial for his safety while operating a crane. With wireless remote control, it gives him the ability to place himself out of the risk zone, far from the hoist and its load.
A wireless remote control additionally gives extra visibility and enhanced line of sight to different operations and employees on the ground. This permits operators to keep away from or alert different individuals foreseeing a risk. One of the most important factors in minimizing accidents is ensuring that the crane equipment is operated by qualified personnel. Proper certification and training of the equipment will greatly improve the operator’s ability to prevent accidents. Modern wireless remote controls are equipped with built-in security functions that complement the operator’s capabilities and add another layer of protection to the security plan.
In addition, operators are no longer restricted by the pendant’s range of motion. This gives them the flexibility to position themselves in better points with an improved line of sight and plan their movements more efficiently. It also helps to reduce the likelihood of stumbling / slipping stress and crushing points during crane operation.
