Upgrade to Radio Remote Crane Controls – Save Up to 50% | CraneCert

Still using a wired pendant to control your overhead crane?

Outdated pendant controls slow your operations, compromise operator safety, and cost more to maintain. Cable failures cause unplanned downtime. Limited operator movement reduces productivity. Your team deserves better.

CraneCert retrofits modern radio remote systems to any overhead crane – regardless of make, model, or age. We've upgraded Street Crane, Demag, Konecranes, Verlinde, and dozens of other manufacturers across Yorkshire, the Midlands, North West, and North East.

The Hidden Costs of Pendant Controls

Traditional pendant controls create problems you might not realize:

• Restricted operator positioning forces sub-optimal load handling
• Cable wear and replacement averages £800–£1,500 annually per crane
• Reduced visibility increases collision risk and slows cycle times
• Entanglement hazards put operators at risk near moving loads
• Fatigue from repetitive motion holding the pendant for 8-hour shifts

A single cable failure can halt production for hours. Radio remote systems eliminate these failure points entirely.

Radio Remote Control Benefits: Measurable Performance Gains

Our clients report immediate operational improvements:

Safety Enhancement

• Control lifts from a safe distance (up to 100 meters with some systems)
• Maintain clear sightlines to the load at all times
• Eliminate cable trip hazards and entanglement risks
• Faster access to emergency stop from any position

Productivity Increase

• Operators move freely to optimize load positioning
• Faster, more precise lifts reduce cycle time by 15–25%
• Less fatigue means sustained performance through shifts
• Multi-crane control options for advanced operations

Cost Reduction

• Eliminate pendant cable replacements
• Reduce electrical fault callouts by up to 70%
• Lower maintenance costs year-on-year
• Minimal downtime during installation (typically 4–8 hours)

Compliance Assurance

• Meets PUWER requirements for suitable control equipment
• Supports LOLER inspection compliance
• Full certification and documentation provided

Crane Modernisation Services
