New remote control options for hoists and cranes
J D Neuhaus has further enhanced its remote control capabilities.
This innovation will bring exceptional ease-of-use and convenience to users across all industries, says the company. Three remote control models are now available, RC-X, RC S 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 company adds: “One of the many advantages of the new JDN receiver is its rigid and extremely compact design. All components are housed in a space-saving, shock-resistant GRP (glass-reinforced plastic) 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.
