RANGER Bellypack Systems overview

Bellypack RANGER Systems

Product page: RANGER Remote Control Systems for Hydraulics 

Our belly pack RANGER systems are a simple, cost-effective way to retrofit a wireless remote on a manual hydraulic system with 4 to 6 axes of variable speed control.

The package is supplied with electrical actuators to stroke the valves in both directions, and all hardware to connect the actuators to the valve handles or linkages. The actuators are connected to the receiver with a premade harness.

The belly pack RANGER is fast and smooth; it responds in 0.05 seconds and feathers all of the crane functions. Installation is simple with our illustrated manual.

Four or six proportional paddles control the winch and boom, and additional toggle switches drive the auxiliary functions and boom speed selection. There is a key switch mounted on the side for turning the transmitter on and off, as well as starting the engine. Side-mounted, sealed pushbuttons are used for increasing and decreasing the engine RPM, as well as for the horn. Enable buttons are on the transmitter and are required to be pressed in order to operate the crane, as a safety feature along with the Emergency Stop switch. The belly pack transmitter can run over an included tether cable in the event of a dead battery, and all functions can be manually controlled on the receiver/control box, or even using the manual levers.

Our radios are proven safe and secure. The CAN actuators that control the valves are fast and precise to 0.01” with 90 pounds of force. They are environmentally hardened for all weather. An internal clutch allows the local operation of the valve handles without any effort when not in active wireless operation. This control is tough – all electronics are silicone-dip-coated or encapsulated, every switch, joystick, and enclosure is sealed, and the transmitter is molded out of a high-impact rated plastic ready to take a beating on a job site. If you need additional functionality, custom configurations are available by request.

Each Bellypack RANGER System includes the following components:

PACKER Series Radio Transmitter

The PACKER transmitter is molded out of a high-impact plastic that’s durable from -40 to +185F (as are all components, including the electronics!). It contains switches for winch speed and boom speed, and two for basket leveling (or use them for an auxiliary function).

It has either four or six fully proportional paddles for smooth control of your winch, boom elevation, boom rotation, and boom extension. The six-paddle version adds paddles for upper and lower boom elevation and extension, normally for knuckle-boom cranes. There are the enable horn, RPM pushbuttons, an E-Stop switch, and a three-position key switch for power and engine start – just like your car.

It runs off of internal rechargeable batteries that provide approximately 20 hours of operating life between charges. A high-quality padded shoulder strap is included.

Radio Receiver

This radio receiver module directly drives the actuators, crane switches, and all engine functions with two simple plug-and-play front-panel-mounted sealed connectors. It provides all outputs based on transmitter commands. The ARM-powered receiver is housed in a sealed polycarbonate enclosure with industry-standard sealed Deutsch connectors. All I/O are protected against reverse battery connections, transient voltage spikes, short circuits, and overloads.

The system has an onboard backlit 2×16 character display for easy setup and configuration, manual backup, diagnostics, calibration, and histogram, driven by four sealed pushbutton switches. In addition to driving the actuators, it has multiple outputs for various throttle control types, and outputs for engine start, engine stop, horn, and basket tilt (or auxiliary). RS-232 is on board for configuration as well.

12/24V Linear Actuators

These CAN-enabled actuators provide 90 pounds of force with a 3” maximum stroke and a built-in processor for precise control of hydraulic valves. They have an internal clutch to enable freewheeling back to the center position when the joystick is released, or power is lost as a safety feature, and are fully weather-sealed.

Bellypack RANGER Mounting Hardware Kit

Mounting Hardware Kit

This kit comprises adjustable linkage rods and clevises for connecting the actuators to the valve handles. The steel bracket is supplied by the installer.

Pre-Made Wiring Harness

This pre-made harness is designed to snap into each system component for an effortless installation with two sealed toggle switches for left and right pedestal remote power. All wires and connectors are labeled for easy identification. All sealed connectors are used, and cables are loomed together where required for a clean, plug-and-play installation. Crane connections, such as RPM, horn, etc., are terminated in flying leads.

Eagle Signal Timers for Food Processing

,

Food Processing

As anyone who has ever baked a cake knows, even a small variation in time or temperature can have drastic results for the finished product.

The food processing and industrial baking industries operate on the same principle, but on a much larger scale. And because the quantity of ingredients involved could potentially result in a huge loss of resources in the event of a mechanical error in timing, the equipment the industrial bakers rely on must be absolutely accurate beyond all doubt.
That’s why industrial bakers and food manufacturers turn to Eagle Signal for their large oven applications, such as the production of bread, pastries, and other products.

Our counters enable machine operators to reliably measure ingredients and accurately monitor oven processes and baking times, thereby preventing material waste, scrap, and the associated time and labor costs involved in reproduction. Eagle Signal offers a range of reset and
repeat cycle timers that are designed to provide user-friendly and accurate time and process control of oven baking time.
Eagle Signal BRE Reset Timer – Anderson Controls Incorporated

BRE timers feature enclosed construction with front-facing dial and knob and a heavy-duty terminal block, with 9 screw terminals that will readily accept 16 gauge wire commonly used in industrial circuit wiring. The case of the BRE series timer is injection molded Lexan®. This material is recognized by Underwriters Laboratories for use as the sole support of current-carrying components. Lexan is self-extinguishing, has a high impact strength, and high dimensional stability.BRE timers are available in 11 different time ranges and 120 to 240VAC, 50/60Hz.

The NEW BRE series reset timers are microprocessor-driven. They provide an accurate, adjustable time delay between the actuation of the control circuit and the operation of the load switches.

The new standard pilot light is on during the timing period.

Optimizing Job Site Performance with Intelligent Generator Control

Boosting productivity in today’s mobile‑equipment world depends on two things: efficiency and reliability. One of the most transformative improvements is the ability to start and stop generators powering mobile and rental equipment automatically. Smart generator control streamlines job site operations, reduces wasted runtime, and strengthens overall return on investment.

🔗 Reliable Communication Between Systems

Consistent communication between the controller and the generator is essential—especially for mechanically or electronically governed units. Any interruption can trigger downtime, slow productivity, and increase operating costs. Maintaining seamless interaction ensures stable power delivery and keeps equipment running at peak efficiency.

💪 Built for Harsh Environments

Generators rarely operate in gentle conditions. They face rain, snow, dust, and extreme temperatures. That means the control systems supporting them must be rugged enough to survive the same challenges. Durable construction and thoughtful engineering ensure reliable performance no matter what the environment throws at them.

⚙️ Smarter Controllers for OEMs

Integrating advanced controllers into mobile generators enables OEMs to monitor and manage performance from virtually anywhere. Key advantages include:

  • Precise Start/Stop Management — Automated control reduces unnecessary runtime and maximizes efficiency.
  • Fuel Optimization — Real‑time data helps adjust fuel usage, lowering operating costs.
  • Remote Diagnostics — Telemetry and monitoring tools detect issues early, preventing expensive failures and service interruptions.

📉 Reducing Downtime, Increasing Productivity

Real‑time adjustments and continuous monitoring ensure generators operate at their best. This reliability directly reduces equipment downtime and boosts job site productivity. With smarter control, power systems become more predictable, more efficient, and far easier to manage.

The Bottom Line

By combining robust communication, environment‑ready durability, and comprehensive remote monitoring, OEMs can dramatically improve generator performance and operational efficiency. These advancements don’t just enhance job site reliability—they create a meaningful competitive advantage in a demanding industrial landscape.
