So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

Affordable BIGMAX Cranes With Wireless Controls

By Merv Carlson


Technocrane Inc, one of Canada's major crane companies, now offers a reliable, versatile and affordable wireless remote control system suitable for small mono-boom and articulated cranes with low volume hydraulic systems. New BIGMAX cranes from Technocrane's stock can now be shipped with wireless controls. The BIGMAX crane products which are in service with manual controls will now be economically retrofitted with wireless controls.

Wireless controls were offered and used on large articulated cranes more than twenty years ago. Most big articulated cranes now come with wireless, or radio controls. Small mono-boom cranes owners can now be happy with the new wireless solution provided by Technocrane. Instead of being operated manually, the small mono-boom cranes now come with wireless controls.

Have you ever wondered why it took so much time for wireless controls to be accepted for small cranes? You can find the reasons below:

The first reason is that small crane operators can still manage without having to use remote controls. Small cranes have a shorter boom and therefore the load hook is usually less than 15 feet from the operator on the ground.

Secondly, reliable FAC approved radio controls have been too costly to justify. A small crane with wireless controls, in the past, could increase its cost by 50%. You could find cheaper controls options on the market; but they were not a reliable and safe option.

One more reason is, it really took time to own a small crane with wireless controls. In the past, if you wanted to own a small crane with wireless controls, you had to purchase from the factory in Europe with the lead times of 90 to 120 days. Radio controls could not be easily retrofitted to cranes in stock.

Technocrane Inc are now proud to be able to provide wireless solutions for small cranes. All of their BIGMAX cranes can now come with Hectronic wireless controls. Hectronic is a reliable wireless solution. Reliability is excellent and people have been able to purchase controls for a reasonable price for the first time. More interestingly, the radio controls can be added at the warehouse instead of the factory. This saves time and money.

Wireless controls are available with 3 or 4 functions as direct replacements for the original control valve. The Hetronic hand held transmitter is available with 4 functions with or without additional PMW toggle switches for other non crane functions.

The electronic control valve is sectional and proportional. It includes man-sized emergency, manual over-ride levers to allow the crane to be operated manually in the event of an electrical problem, or if the transmitter is lost or broken. The wiring harness, which uses DIN connectors, is weather proofed for outdoor use.
