Steel & foundry
Ladle cranes and magnet handling at radiant heat, with shielded receivers.
Wireless machine control since 1994
Hands off the machine. Eyes on the load.
EMCO Remote builds safety-rated radio remote controls for cranes, hoists and heavy machinery — so operators stand where they can actually see the work.

The system
Engineered for the ten seconds when everything goes wrong
Fail-safe by design
Dual-channel stop circuit, watchdog heartbeat and passive-stop on signal loss — certified to SIL 3 / PL e.
Frequency hopping
Adaptive FHSS across 79 channels keeps the link clean in dense plants full of WiFi and welding noise.
One-to-many pairing
Bind a single transmitter to eight machines, or hand control between operators with a physical key token.
12-hour duty cycle
Hot-swap packs charge in the belt dock. No shift ever stops because a remote went flat.
Proportional control
Hall-effect joysticks with 1024-step resolution for millimetre placement of loads up to 500 t.
IP66 and repairable
Glass-fibre housing rated −25 °C to +70 °C. Every module is field-replaceable with a single tool.
T-Series transmitter
870 grams. Two gloves. Zero ambiguity.
Every control is identifiable by touch alone. The stop is where your thumb already is. Feedback comes back through the housing, not a screen you have to look down at.
- Dual proportional joysticks, 1024 steps
- Tactile mushroom stop, twist release
- Shock-tested to 1.5 m onto concrete
- Belt or harness mount, 870 g total
Where it runs
6,400 machines. 41 countries.
Ports & logistics
Ship-to-shore, straddle carriers and rail-mounted gantries across whole terminals.
Mining & quarry
Dust-sealed transmitters for haul trucks, crushers and remote excavation.
