Ensuring the accuracy of radio remote controls is extremely important to customers. Accuracy is directly related to the operating efficiency and safety of the crane. A high-precision remote control can accurately convey operating instructions so that the crane can move as expected, thereby improving work efficiency. In the application scenarios of bridge cranes, it is often necessary to accurately control the lifting, lowering, moving and other movements of the suspended objects. Any slight deviation may lead to serious consequences. Therefore, the accuracy of the remote control is crucial.

The case that Dongqi Crane wants to share today is that an Australian brewery purchased a bridge crane. In this case, the crane supplier equipped the crane with a radio remote control to ensure that the operator can lift the load safely and accurately. Dongqi Crane will help customers understand the role of radio remote control in the use of bridge cranes by explaining the details of this crane case.

Brewery custom-made bridge crane with radio remote control

The brewery's overhead and monorail cranes are equipped with radio remote controls to ensure operators can lift loads safely and accurately.

The brewery uses a single-girder bridge crane and is equipped with a wire rope hoist in the jump room. A one-tonne crane with a span of 4.34 meters is used to move bags containing brewing additives into position above the dissolution tank.

As part of the beer-making process, a radio-controlled electric chain hoist on a monorail is used to lift the bowl out of the separator. Electric chain hosts are designed to meet and exceed industrial requirements and provide reliable solutions for specific lifting needs.

Electric hoists are designed for maximum safety and comfort and come with a range of additional features to tailor them to specific needs. When the brewery was recently upgraded, both the monorail hoist and overhead crane were fitted with heavy-duty radio remote controls as standard.

The radio remote control ensures the safety of the operator, who can choose a position away from the load being lifted and moved while still having optimal visibility.

Andrew Mitchell, the brewery’s services and utilities manager, confirmed that the overhead crane and monorail with remote control are working well at the brewery.

The crane supplier also has maintenance contracts for five of the brewery's cranes, servicing not only its own cranes but also those of other suppliers. The (single girder) crane with a single lifting capacity of up to 80 tonnes and the accompanying wire rope hoist are designed to become the industry benchmark in safety and ergonomics, with optimal dimensions for simple and effective load handling and space-saving solutions.
