Wireless Crane Controls

Taking crane control into the digital age

 

 

Why limit yourself to a fixed control station?  With state of the art wireless technology and a true marine-grade hydraulic valve, Maximum Performance Hydraulics provides you with the ultimate in convenience, safety and versatility - Wireless crane control from anywhere on your vessel, an adjacent dock or even another vessel alongside your own.

Standard Features Include:
  • Fully proportional control of all functions
  • Programmable MIN and MAX for precise speed control
  • MICRO mode provides one-push speed reduction
  • Secure digital encoding of signals 
  • 200 meter (650 ft) operating range
  • Lithium Ion battery technology for 10 hour operating and 1 hour recharge time
  • Lightweight remote unit weighs just over 3 lbs
  • Comfortable and versatile operator harness options

Optional Features:

  • Vessel control - integrates with existing electronic engine/gearbox controls as well as thrusters, anchor windlass, capstans, etc.
  • Auxilliary function control - operate horn, lights, multiple winches, special functions, etc.
  • Switchable outputs - operate two or more cranes with a single remote unit.
  • Remote digital readout - displays load weight, wind speed, engine rpm, system pressure or other data on the remote unit. 

 

 

Designed for rough service in a marine environment, the MicroControl remote terminal has an IP66 rating.  The Base Unit has a NEMA 4X rating and can safely be mounted on deck.  The operating frequencies of the MicroControl wireless system are unaffected by the signals normally found onboard vessels including electronic equipment such as radios, radar and sonar. Each time a function is operated, an electronic 'signature' unique to each system is sent from the terminal to the base unit, preventing unauthorized operation even if the interference is on the same frequency.
