Schneider Electric Harmony eXLhoist wireless remote control for hoisting applications

Click2Contact

The Harmony eXLhoist range of wireless remote control systems is designed for operator control of cranes and other materials handling equipment.

The system is a combination of a handheld remote (transmitter) and a base station (receiver) that communicates wirelessly over a dedicated and reserved 2.4 GHz frequency protocol. It allows the crane operator to move freely (within 100 m) for better vision of the load, obstacles and the target destination. This also eliminates all installation, operation and maintenance difficulties associated with cabled crane control devices such as pendant control stations.

The ergonomic design of the eXLhoist controller allows comfortable, single-handed operation, with intuitive button positioning and tactile response.

It allows 2-speed motion control in all three axes (long travel, cross travel and hoist) and can be used for 30 h on a 15 min charge, with a battery life of five years. The Harmony eXLhoist also has a robust design with IP65 protection on the remote and base station, and compliance to drop-testing and IK08 impact resistance standards directed by the crane code.
