Joystick Crane Remote Control

Crane Radio Remote Controls – Overview & Selection

Advanced Control Solution

Crane radio remote controls are an advanced technological solution for the efficient and safe operation of overhead cranes from a distance. These devices use radio waves to transmit control signals from the operator to the crane, enabling precise and responsive control over various crane functions, including lifting, lowering, and moving loads.

Two Primary Categories

Based on operation and control methods, there are two primary categories of industrial remote controllers for cranes:

1. Button‑Type Crane Remote Controllers

Single‑speed or multi‑speed options

Ideal for straightforward operations requiring less control complexity

Simple setup and operation due to fewer commands and contacts

More cost‑effective

Examples & Pricing (F21 Series):

F21‑E1B – $45/set

F21‑E1 / F21‑E2 – $40/set

2. Joystick Crane Radio Remote Controls

Better suited for complex operations with multiple control points

Offer enhanced flexibility and precision

Higher learning curve and product cost

Requires consideration of actual application conditions to select the most suitable type

Our Flagship Product

Below is the introduction of our flagship F24‑60 model joystick crane radio remote control.

F24-60 TRANSMITTER

Main Performance Features

Emergency Stop & Power Off Signals

The emergency stop signal of the TELEcontrol remote control system includes an emergency stop signal and a power‑off signal during off‑work.

Emergency stop signal – Actively switches off the receiving system (no effective output). The response time is only 20 ms from signal sending to receiving.

Power‑off during off‑work – The receiving system automatically shuts off when no effective signal is received from the transmitter for a certain period (e.g., low battery, out of range, or prolonged inactivity). The shutdown time is programmable (10 minutes, 20 minutes, 1 hour, 4 hours, etc.).

System Address

Each crane radio remote control system is programmed with a unique system address code. Each code is used only once and is not repeated, effectively preventing interference and wrong signals between systems.

Digital Processing System

Transmitter: Features a CPU microprocessor and a transmitting RFID chip, ensuring that instruction codes are transmitted accurately and quickly.

Receiver: Features a CPU microprocessor and a receiving RFID chip, ensuring accurate and reliable decoding.

Safety & Reliability: The receiving system includes a brake monitor circuit that performs error correction on received signals and decoded digital signals. The CPU performs self‑testing to ensure the stability of the joystick crane radio remote control system.

TELEcontrol Remote Control System – Display Panel
The LED display panel on the receiving system indicates the working states, allowing operators to monitor:
Operating voltage of the receiving system
Signal transmission status
Whether the first and second testing circuits are functioning normally
This feature is essential for system adjustment and maintenance, enabling quick diagnosis and ensuring reliable operation.

TELEcontrol Remote Control System – Start Protection Circuit
The joystick crane radio remote controls feature a start protection circuit that performs a comprehensive safety check before the system starts:
Tests all switch contacts
Tests the receiving system test relays
Only when both procedures are successfully passed does the entire system begin operation. This ensures maximum safety before any crane movement is initiated

Transmitter – Letterings & User Interface
The letters and graphics on the transmitter are clear and easy to read. The well‑designed panel makes operation more intuitive and convenient.
Additionally, the on/off button on the transmitter helps prevent unauthorized use, enhancing overall security

TELEcontrol Miniature Joysticks
With twenty years of application and continuous improvement, TELEcontrol joysticks made of specially selected materials have proven to be the best in their class.
A ten‑year guarantee eliminates customers’ worries and ensures long‑term reliability.

Green Technology Innovation
The green design of power supply is aimed at enhancing not only the product's adaptability to the environment but also its alignment with socially relevant green initiatives. We are committed to progressing with the times and promoting sustainable innovation.

F24-60 TRANSMITTER

Product Features

Controls – 6 buttons, 4 three‑position or two‑position rotary switches, plus STOP, START, and spare buttons.

Joysticks – 2 five‑step joysticks with 10 million cycles mechanical life and pure proportional control.

Control contacts – Up to 40.

Battery voltage warning – Power supply cuts off automatically during low power.

Safety key switch – Prevents unauthorized use.

Computer programmable – Button functions can be programmed via computer interface.

Programmable start key – Can be set to functions such as start, toggle switch, normal, or others.

Programmable spare buttons – Can be programmed to start, toggle, interlock, normal, or other functions.

Proportional module – Optional installation for analog signal output.

F24-TX Transmitter - Technical Specifications

Standard Configuration

One transmitter (with waist belt)

One receiver (with 2.5‑meter cable)

Two pairs of batteries

One receive antenna

One battery box

One operation and maintenance manual

Unique ID Code for Maximum Safety

Each joystick crane radio remote control system functions in all manner of operating conditions, equipped with its own unique identity code (ID‑code). This means that only the correct control unit can activate and control its matching receiver (crane or machine), ensuring maximum safety and preventing unauthorized or cross‑interference operation.

F24-60 RECEIVER
