Reliability and Safety for Concrete Pump Operators
/in , , ,
Areal view of a construction site where workers in blue uniforms and yellow hard hats are using a concrete pump.

Concrete pumping is heavy-duty work that leaves little room for disruptions or errors. Not only are operators in a potentially messy construction environment, but they are also subject to harsh or unpredictable weather conditions. Operators need job site tools that make concrete pumping more reliable, efficient, and safe for workers. Using a tool like our Concrete Pump Remote Control can help keep workers out of harm’s way and reduce workplace accidents by eliminating the need for operators to physically be near the pump.

Industrial Wireless Remote Control

Wireless remote controllers for concrete pumps are reliable and easy to use. Concrete Pump Remotes increase the mobility of workers on the job site, allowing for a better view of the work area. The operating range needs to be long enough to extend across the entire job site, and the signal needs to be maintained while operating the pump. With a radio remote control, projects can be completed faster without compromising safety.

Service vehicle equipped with Tyro remote control

/in , , , , , ,

Arcxis, located in Belgium, specializes in fitting out commercial vehicles. For one of their customers, they have fitted out a service vehicle that uses a remote control by Tyro Remotes.

The commercial vehicle is fully equipped to provide maintenance and servicing for semi-trailers and trailers on the road should they run into problems. This vehicle is equipped with hose reels for compressed air, gas, and oxygen so that welding or other necessary repairs can also be carried out on the road.

The Pyxis 8F remote control in combination with the Aquarius 10F receiver is specifically configured for the 24V cable reel. The cable reel with 20 meters cable and 13-pin plug is used to control the lighting on e.g. a trailer. With the remote control in your hand, you can stand behind the trailer to easily and efficiently test the lighting.

Wireless Anti-Two Block Switch Systems for Traditional ATB

/in , , , , , ,

This Wireless ATB is designed to be a simple cost-effective replacement for traditional ATB systems.

With a quick installation, it is an easy way to remove the headaches associated with the wires, rusted contact, and loose springs of traditional ATB systems.

This wireless system eliminates both the cable reel and the anti-two block switch and the headaches associated with them. The self-contained switch is immune to mechanical failures and water damage since both the switch and the receiver are designed with solid state components which are fully encapsulated; the system is designed to be as hassle-free as possible. There’s no need to worry about the potential for a cable being broken by branches or other objects and no more need for a cable reel.

This is also a perfect solution to eliminate the corrosion factor in the reel contacts and their loose springs. Installation is as simple as mounting the wireless switch at the boom tip and installing the receiver at the base of the boom. This simple installation allows OEMs to reduce manufacturing costs by removing brackets, wire guides, and the associated labor.

Mobile conveyors are widely used in agriculture, aggregate production, construction, and mining and offer a range of benefits that can be greatly enhanced with wireless automation and tight integration to engine and machine control. Combined with engine and machine control solutions, mobile conveyors become easily adjustable, allowing for quick adaptation to changing process needs. A mobile conveyor enabled with wireless automation can improve production capacity while providing a wider field of view, enhancing safety for operators when transporting hazardous materials.

Integrated Controls Can Boost Productivity and Safety

Operating mobile conveyors efficiently requires intelligent machine control systems to effectively control and regulate movement and overall performance while enhancing operator safety. Utilizing Cattron’s application engineering expertise and an integrated controls approach will result in optimized control over the conveyor’s speed, direction, and material-carrying capacity. The system architecture can be set up to enable a radio remote control option. Wireless remote controls allow operators to interact with the conveyor without any physical interface, boosting safety and efficiency. Incorporating our cloud-based telematics solutions can add another level of intelligence, enabling real-time monitoring, remote diagnostics, and machine tracking.

The integrated controls approach can add significant value to your business.  Machine operators will benefit from our market-leading technology and system expertise:
