In the construction sector, lifting management via construction cranes requires a perfect blend of mechanical power and precision. Whether dealing with large tower structures or self-erecting models, the safety radio remote control is the indispensable tool that allows the operator to govern the load with maximum freedom of movement and total protection within the job site.
The Lifting Landscape: From Towers to Urban Construction Sites
To understand the importance of reliable control, it is necessary to look at the different machines that can be used on construction sites:
- Tower Cranes: They represent the most recognizable element of urban skylines. They combine great height with a constant lifting capacity along the entire horizontal jib, covering the entire work area of a growing building.
- Luffing Jib Cranes: They are distinguished by the ability to raise the jib upwards, almost vertically. This allows operation in extremely narrow spaces or between very close buildings, preventing the rotating structure from hitting obstacles or invading neighboring airspace.
- Mobile Cranes: They offer superior versatility, being mounted on wheeled vehicles with hydraulic stabilizers. They guarantee a fundamental movement speed for rapid interventions at different points of a very extensive construction site.
The REMdevice Response: Born for the Construction Site
REMdevice developed the Brick and Pail solutions starting from a real analysis of the field: difficult environments where work is constantly carried out amidst dirt, dust, and liquids, often exposed to extreme temperatures and bad weather.
Highly Resistant Materials: The Nylon Housing
To withstand these conditions, the housing of every pushbutton station and manipulator is made of glass-fiber reinforced nylon.
This material guarantees:
- Extreme Thermal Resistance: Designed to operate with precision in a critical temperature range, from -20°C to +70°C.
- Maximum Impact Protection: The rigid casing and internal electronics are developed to withstand accidental falls and mechanical stress. The IP65 protection rating guarantees a radio remote control resistant to dust, water, oils, and acids.
- Ergonomics and Precision with Gloves: The surface design is shaped and specifically studied to offer clear tactile feedback even when wearing work gloves.
REMdevice Innovation: Total Protection of Electronics
Unlike most products on the market, REMdevice systems feature a unique structure: they do not use external replacement batteries.
This design choice eliminates the presence of openable battery compartments or exposed electrical contacts. The result is a completely sealed safety radio remote control, where the internal electronics remain constantly protected from infiltrations of moisture, dust, or cement residue, guaranteeing a long service life for the product over time.
Tailor-made Technology: Brick and Pail
The Brick Pushbutton System: Compactness and Agility
The light and manageable, yet resistant, transmitting unit is easily programmable and boasts a record operating duration without the need for recharging: up to 35 hours of work. Being the first and only one featuring a patented induction charging system, it is completely isolated from dust and moisture. The pushbutton system is configurable for the most demanding applications, ideal for continuous work without fear of machine downtime.
The Pail Manipulator: Maximum Control
Pail is a reliable and efficient manipulator in the field of safety radio remote controls for cranes. This induction charging system console is manageable and easy to use even with gloves and is completely isolated from dust and moisture. This manipulator is configured with extreme ease to respond to the needs of every application, being able to house from 2 to 5 joysticks, in addition to selectors, potentiometers, displays, and data feedback systems.
Long-lasting Energy: Induction Charging System
The absence of external batteries is made possible by the induction charging system. This technology eliminates potential oxidation problems of exposed metal contacts, offering high energy performance:
- Standard Autonomy: With only 5 hours of charging, the radio remote controls can work for up to 35 hours of continuous operation.
- Emergency Charge: Only 20 minutes of charge are needed to cover an entire working day.
Conclusions
The adoption of Brick and Pail systems guarantees reliable and precise remote control in various working contexts on the construction site. Thanks to its concept and high-resistance materials, REMdevice solutions offer operators a product resistant to impacts and wear, capable of working in very difficult contexts.
