Crane control options: pendant or radio remote
Tirupati Power Enterprises quotes both from Kolkata against your motion count, speed steps, control voltage and stop arrangement, for new cranes or like-for-like replacement.
Both types of crane control send the same motion commands to the crane panel. The difference is how the operator is connected, which changes where they can stand.
Point | Pendant station | Radio remote |
|---|---|---|
Link to crane | Multicore cable hanging from the crane | Paired transmitter and receiver |
Operator position | Walks with the pendant, close to the load | Can stand clear with a better view |
Wiring | Control cable with strain support | Receiver wired into the crane panel |
Common replacement parts | Push buttons, cable, enclosure | Transmitter, batteries, charger, receiver |
Stop function | Emergency stop button on the pendant | Stop on the transmitter, plus action on signal loss |
What to specify for a crane pendant
List every motion and speed step, so the button layout matches the panel. See crane pendant control stations for the full checklist. For a like-for-like replacement, send a photo of the old pendant's buttons and label.
- Motions: hoist up and down, cross travel, long travel, auxiliary hoist
- Single speed or two-step buttons for two-speed motions
- Control voltage, emergency stop, key switch and indicator lamp
- Enclosure protection, cable entry and pendant cable length
What to specify for a crane remote control
A crane remote control is part of the crane's safety chain. Give the receiver outputs and wiring diagram, the emergency stop design and how many cranes it must work with. See crane radio remote controls for the RFQ fields.
The crane maker or a competent engineer should check stop and loss-of-signal behaviour at commissioning. IEC 60204-32 covers electrical equipment of hoisting machines. IS 3177 is the Indian code of practice for EOT cranes.
Parts that go with crane control
Crane panels use contactors and overload relays for each motion. You can add contactors and overload relays or a full crane panel from our panels and control systems range to the same RFQ.
Questions about Crane Pendants & Radio Remote Controls
What is a crane pendant control?
It is a hand-held push button station hung from the crane on a control cable. Each button drives one motion, such as hoist up or long travel. It also carries the emergency stop.
Can a radio remote replace a pendant?
Often yes, but the receiver must suit the crane panel's control voltage and number of outputs. The stop function must be designed and tested. Many users keep the pendant as a backup.
What does a two-step push button do?
Pressing halfway gives the first speed and pressing fully gives the second. It is used on two-speed hoist and travel motors, so the operator can creep the load into place.
What happens if the radio signal is lost?
Crane radio remotes are designed to stop motion when the link drops. The exact response depends on the receiver and the crane panel, so check it at commissioning and after any change.
