In the world of industrial lifting, every minute of downtime counts. When a crane’s remote control transmitter fails, the traditional process of replacing or reprogramming a new unit can be time-consuming and require access to the receiver — often located high above ground or in a restricted space.

At Lootah Lemmens, we’ve chosen to integrate Tele Radio remote control systems into our cranes because of their unmatched reliability, built-in safety features, and above all, their operator-friendly design.

One feature that truly stands out in Tele Radio’s portfolio is the Replace Function — a smart solution that allows for fast and secure transmitter replacement without needing access to the crane’s receiver.

What is the Replace Function?

The Replace Function allows a new transmitter to take over from a lost or damaged unit using just a few simple steps. No laptop, no cables, and no downtime.

Here’s how it works:

  1. Ensure the new transmitter is within communication range of the receiver.
  2. Put the new transmitter in “replace mode” by holding a specific button combination.
  3. Enter the ID code of the old transmitter.
  4. The receiver accepts the new transmitter, and normal operation resumes — instantly.

This entire process takes less than a minute. For crane operators and maintenance teams, this means less waiting, lower service costs, and improved productivity.

Why It Matters for Crane Operations

In facilities where uptime is mission-critical — like steel plants, ports, and power generation sites — a failed remote control can cause major delays. The ability to switch transmitters on-site with minimal tools or effort provides a real competitive advantage.

Combined with Tele Radio’s other safety features — such as encrypted signal transmission, donut function (proximity-based slowdown), and emergency stop redundancy — it’s easy to see why we choose these systems for our overhead and gantry cranes across the GCC.
