Radio remote controls for hoists and cranes
J D Neuhaus (JDN), manufacturer of air hoists, cranes, trolleys and monorail hoists, has enhanced its remote control capabilities. The company says this will bring exceptional ease-of-use and convenience to users across all industries.

Three remote control models are now available, RC-X, RCS and RC-SP, each comprising a transmitter and receiver, and all can either be integrated in existing JDN solutions or directly combined with a new JDN hoist.
The new JDN receiver has a rigid and compact design. All components are housed in a space-saving, shock-resistant GRP casing featuring protection class IP65 (dust and water protected). A breathable membrane guides any condensation away from the interior to the exterior. The design also offers seawater-resistance for offshore applications. The radio remote control model RC-X is even suitable for the use in potentially explosive environments rated up to ATEX zone 2/22.
Consideration has also been given to ease-of-installation. Even existing JDN hoists and cranes can be retrofitted thanks to the standardised interface of the JDN RC. The receiver can be mounted directly on the hoist or the trolley, or individually at site. The compact design of the receiver makes it even suitable for hoists with low carrying capacity.
Individual solutions according to specific customer needs are available. Up to 20h of use is possible before recharging of the portable transmitter is required.
Suitable for covering long distances between hoist and operator, the JDN RC represents a sensitive alternative to applications with long control hoses. In addition, it can be used in hard-to-reach places and for simultaneous control of multiple hoists.
