Wireless Crane Control
We’ve taken crane control into the digital age! Wirelessly crane control from anywhere on your vessel, an adjacent dock or even another vessel alongside your own.

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.
