Telemotive MLTX Radio Control Transmitter
Concrete Stripping Gantry
Crane Uptime Improvement |
| |
|
Telemotive’s
new MLTX radio control transmitter
was recently installed on our customer’s
outdoor duty concrete stripping gantry crane in order to
prevent nuisance control signal
drop-outs and loss of production time.
If you are not familiar with this
application, concrete stripping is one of the toughest duty
cycles for crane equipment. Pulling pre-cast
concrete forms, pouring concrete, and handling large
concrete castings are performed sometimes non-stop for 2 or
3 shifts in a near continuous duty-cycle environment. Crane
equipment, drives and remote
controls must perform at a very
high level of service for weeks at
a time when production is
critical. This is one of the
toughest crane applications anywhere. |

The
MLTX transmitter is rated at over 5 million cycles
for the control levers!

experience that the MLTX transmitter will provide
reliable service you can count on under the most severe
operating environments.

The
original transmitter for this application was not
providing the valuable production uptime required, so a new
Magnetek Telemotive MLTX transmitter was called on to give
the customer what the customer needs:
RELIABILITY!
The
gantry shown in the pictures was designed and sold by
Engineered Lifting’s Eric Brown using rugged Ace World
Companies hoists, trolleys and endtrucks. Eric called on
Magnetek Electromotive to supply controls and panels in
order to make this crane bullet-proof, reliable and
dependable. The customer reports high production uptime
using the MLTX transmitter and new controls.
Engineered Lifting Systems recommends the Telemotive MLTX
radio remote control for outdoor cranes in all-weather
environments and for concrete stripping applications.
