Radio control for overhead cranes

Efficiency and safety without cables

At Asatech, we strive to make your lifting systems not only reliable and safe, but also user-friendly and efficient. That’s why we offer radio remote control as a smart solution for wirelessly controlling overhead cranes and lifting applications

Radio control (or radio frequency remote control) allows you to operate your overhead crane from a safe distance and without any obstructive cables. Thanks to robust and ergonomic remote controls—such as the latest models from Danfoss, Tele Radio, or Schneider Electric—the operator has complete control over the crane, with maximum freedom of movement and increased safety.

Advantages of radio control:

  • Increased safety on the work floor: Operate the crane remotely, outside the danger zone and with a full view of the load.

  • Improved ergonomics: No more dragging cables or fixed control points – the operator moves freely and adopts a comfortable working position.

  • High reliability: Modern transmitters such as the Danfoss Ikargo are dust- and waterproof (IP65), operate interference-free over multiple frequency bands and are equipped with safety certifications (PLd or PLe).

  • Ease of use: Simple operation via push buttons or joysticks, with optional feedback via LED or display for additional information such as load, status, or alarms.

  • Versatile: Compatible with various types of cranes and hoists, from light electric hoists to heavy-duty overhead cranes.

Our radio control service includes:

  • Installation and adjustment of new remote controls

  • Replacement or modernization of existing control systems

  • Troubleshooting or signal problems

  • Configuration of safety switches, multikeys and feedback options

  • Integration with existing control cabinets and safety logic

Whether you choose a compact 6-button remote control or an advanced model with a display and multiple functions, at Asatech we ensure a safe and reliable implementation, fully tailored to your application.

Radio control is no longer a luxury, but a smart investment in safety, efficiency, and ease of use. Let your systems evolve with the latest technologies – we’re happy to help with advice and implementation.

Sample project: Delivery and installation of 3 radio-controlled roller bridges

For an industrial client, Asatech managed the entire process of supplying, installing, and delivering three radio-controlled overhead cranes . These overhead cranes were equipped with modern wireless control systems, fully tailored to the client’s work environment and safety requirements.

Thanks to the switch to radio control, the cranes can now be operated remotely and with maximum visibility . This not only improves safety on the work floor but also enhances ergonomics for the operator . No more cables getting in the way, no more fixed control points – just complete freedom of movement for fast and efficient work.

The installation was completed within the agreed timeframe, including:

  • The installation of the roller bridges and the necessary cabling

  • The configuration of the wireless control per crane

  • A testing and delivery phase including safety testing

  • A short training for the operators

The result: a modern and safe lifting solution that has enabled the customer to significantly improve its internal logistics.
