Wireless Radio
Wireless Radio
The application of radio control to existing and new cranes has become a common requirement and often results in improvements in process efficiency and crane operating costs.
MH Automation now specialise at interfacing new and existing control systems with the latest radio control technology, to provide safe and reliable performance of our customers’ cranes.
Our radio control units range from simple and inexpensive items, to robust and high quality equipment. Our designers ensure that the control systems provide future radio control and telemetry interface requirements. They are also easily adapted to accommodate devices such as anti-collision, slow down zones and other safety related interfaces.
