Replace outdated pendant controls with modern wireless crane control systems. All makes, models and years upgraded with minimal downtime.

All Makes. All Models. Any Age.

From 60 year old contactor systems to inverter driven cranes, we retrofit compliant radio control systems quickly and safely.

Safer Lifting. Faster Operation.

Improve operator visibility, reduce cable failures and increase lift accuracy. A simple upgrade that improves productivity immediately.

"We had been putting off upgrading our crane controls for years because we expected it to be expensive. We honestly could not believe how affordable it was. The installation was quick, clean and caused almost no disruption to production." - Satisfied Client

Alex - Operations Director
Engineering Manufacturer, W.Yorks

"I assumed a radio remote upgrade would mean major downtime. CraneCert proved us wrong. The process was straightforward, the team worked efficiently and the cost was far lower than we expected. It has already improved our lifting speed and safety"

Peter Whitaker - Workshop Manager
Steel Fabs - E. Midlands

“We compared a few providers and were surprised at how competitive CraneCert were. The upgrade was completed faster than planned and the engineers handled everything professionally. It was one of the simplest improvements we have made to our site.”

Upgrade Legacy Crane Controls to Modern Radio Remote Systems

Introduction

If your overhead crane still uses a wired pendant control, you are operating with outdated technology. Legacy crane control systems restrict operator movement, reduce visibility and increase wear on cables and switches.

CraneCert upgrades all makes, models and years of overhead cranes to modern radio remote control systems. Enquire today and receive up to 50 percent off selected upgrades.

Why Upgrade from Pendant Controls to Radio Remote Controls

Traditional pendant controls are fixed and cable connected. Over time they become unreliable, unsafe and expensive to maintain.

A radio remote control upgrade allows your operator to:

• Move freely around the load

• Improve line of sight during lifting

• Reduce risk of entanglement

• Increase lift speed and positioning accuracy

• Reduce fatigue during repetitive operations

For engineering workshops, manufacturing plants and distribution centres, this is a measurable productivity improvement.

All Makes, Models and Years Can Be Upgraded

We retrofit radio remote control systems to:

• Single girder cranes

• Double girder cranes

• Gantry cranes

• Jib cranes

• Monorails

• Electric wire rope hoists

Age is not a barrier. Whether your crane is 5 years old or 60 years old, our engineers assess the control system and integrate a compliant radio solution.

We regularly upgrade systems from Street Crane, Demag, Verlinde, SWF and Konecranes. Obsolete pendant controls can almost always be replaced with a modern wireless alternative.

Safety Benefits of Radio Remote Crane Controls

Operator safety improves immediately after upgrade.

• Control lifts from a safe distance

• Maintain clear visibility of the load

• Reduce exposure to suspended loads

• Improve emergency stop accessibility

Upgrading controls also supports PUWER compliance by ensuring safe and suitable control devices are in place.

Reduced Downtime and Lower Maintenance Costs

Pendant cables are one of the most common crane failure points. Eliminating trailing cables reduces breakdown risk.

Benefits include:

• Fewer electrical faults

• Reduced cable replacements

• Lower ongoing maintenance costs

• Improved long term reliability

Most installations are completed with minimal operational disruption.

Minimal Downtime Installation and Commissioning

CraneCert engineers carry out:

• Control panel assessment

• Voltage compatibility checks

• Contactor or inverter integration

• Safety circuit verification

• Full functional testing and commissioning

We provide documentation and certification aligned with LOLER and PUWER regulations.
