Remote Control Solutions for Lifting & Cranes in the Construction Industry

Precise Handling. Safer Worksites. Wireless Control You Can Trust.

In construction, precision and safety are non-negotiable when lifting heavy materials or operating cranes in dynamic environments. At Telemation, we provide robust, fail-safe remote control systems for lifting equipment and construction cranes, helping teams operate with confidence, improve site safety, and reduce downtime.

Our primary remote control solutions are powered by Tele Radio, a globally trusted leader in wireless control technology. These systems are integrated and supported locally by our team, bringing you cutting-edge capability, compliance, and long-term reliability.

Why Wireless Control for Lifting Equipment?

Manual control of cranes and lifting systems can limit operator visibility, restrict flexibility, and increase safety risks. Wired pendant systems tether users to unsafe locations, while cab operation often relies on secondhand signals from riggers.

Tele Radio remote controls, installed and configured by Telemation, solve these issues by offering:

  • Long-range wireless operation with secure, encrypted signals

  • Built-in safety interlocks and emergency stop features

  • Ergonomic, rugged transmitters for glove-friendly use

  • Compliance with international and Australian safety standards

With remote control, your operators can position themselves for maximum visibility and safety, while maintaining full control of all lifting operations.
