TELE RADIO HANDHELDS FOR LIFTING APPLICATIONS
hoisting applications. Both the T19-2 and T29-12 joined the company’s Panther line of products, which all meet Performance Level d (PLd), Category 3, equivalent to Safety Integrity Level (SIL) 2. This makes them suitable for use in high-risk areas such as those with moving and heavy loads. Tele Radio, part of Sweden’s Allgon
T
Group, offers a wide variety of handheld transmitters and larger-size waist belt transmitters for all kinds of industrial applications. However, the T19-2 and T29-12 present a variety of benefits to end users operating cranes and hoists, largely because of their conformity to relevant standards and certifications, and the fact that they are lightweight, easy to handle, and cost effective. KeesJan van der Elst, market manager
Tele Radio, said: “Both transmitters are popular in the marketplace due to their high safety and quality at a competitive price. They are easy to setup for specific applications, and are widely used to control jib cranes, overhead cranes, loader cranes, and other overhead lifting equipment.” The T19-2 has eight buttons, while the
T29-12 is a 12-button version; the latter can control up to 24 different functions, but this can become 4 x 24, through the ‘layer

ele Radio has reminded industry of the benefits of two handheld radio remote controls specifically for the demands of lifting and
selection’ option. The additional buttons mean the T29-12 can even be used for the safe control of more advanced machinery, like recovery vehicles and excavators. These buttons have three steps: off, half, and full. A broad offering of accessories and 500m wireless range, depending on the surrounding environment, means the applications for each transmitter is limitless. Both transmitters work on rechargeable lithium-ion batteries and are equipped with a robust housing with a protective bumper and are water resistant according to IP65. They work on the worldwide accepted 2.4 GHz frequency and, thanks to advanced technology, interference is minimal. It is also possible to create a group code, through which multiple transmitters can control a single receiver. Van der Elst said: “The Panther systems include several three relay crane controls and can be fitted with standard harnesses and connectors for various types of cranes and lifting equipment. In addition to the standard settings, advanced set-ups are possible through a USB connection with a personal computer. A separate programming kit is available [from Tele Radio] to set-up the Panther PLd to a user’s specific needs.” Another standout feature of the Panther is the ability to pair the transmitter and receiver high in a crane from the ground. In other words, a transmitter, connected
to a receiver that is mounted high in a crane, can be replaced and paired easily without climbing to the receiver and without opening it. It can be completed from the ground floor. This configuration is another example of the flexibility and user-friendliness of the products. While the transmitters are water resistant according to IP65, the receivers are protected to IP66, providing resistance to dust and water. Van der Elst added: “The Panther
PLd systems are the clear choice for certified hoisting and lifting, where high performance is a requirement. Consider the accessories — holders, chargeable batteries, charging cables, straps, and covers — and it’s evident that both the T19- 2 and T29-12 are perfect for the demands of lifting and hoisting applications in a multitude of end-user applications.”
