Radio remote control delivers precise load placement

Stellar Industries’ Stellar CDTpro, a radio remote control with patent pending Range Finder, was designed to improve ergonomics and increase usability. The single-handed controller delivers quick, smooth operation for precise placements of loads while allowing for multiple functions to run at once, according to the company. The Range Finder feature allows the operator to create a lift plan without needing to unstow the crane. This technology estimates distance and calculates crane capacities where the operator is holding the radio remote. With a full suite of feedback screens, the Stellar CDTpro includes current load of the crane and distance to maximum capacity. It sends vibratory alerts to inform operators they are approaching maximum load capacity.
