The electric hoist remote control is an important control component of the electric hoist. According to the connection method, electric hoist remote controls can be divided into two types: wired remote controls and wireless remote controls. Users can choose the appropriate electric hoist remote control according to the specific usage scenario.
The Weihua electric hoist remote control is the core control component of industrial lifting equipment and is used to remotely operate the lifting, walking and precise positioning of the electric hoist. As the demand for industrial automation increases, remote controls are constantly upgraded in terms of safety, convenience and functional diversity. The following is an analysis of the types and characteristics of mainstream electric hoist remote controls currently on the market.
| Parameter item | Specification description |
| Frequency range | 2.4GHz: Strong anti-interference ability, supports multiple devices working at the same time (such as Bluetooth, WiFi frequency band).
433MHz: Long transmission distance (up to 500 meters) and better ability to penetrate obstacles. |
| Communication protocol | Common protocols include CAN, RS485, Modbus, etc., which need to be matched with the electric hoist control system. |
| Effective control distance | Wireless remote controls are generally 50-500 meters (open environment), and the actual distance is affected by obstacles and electromagnetic interference.
Wired remote controls are usually limited to 5-10 meters (cable length). |
| Protection level (IP level) | IP65: Dust-proof and low-pressure water spray-proof, suitable for ordinary industrial environments.
IP67/IP68: Completely dustproof and waterproof (short-term or continuous), suitable for wet, outdoor or wash-down scenarios. Explosion-proof grade: such as Ex d IIB T4, used in flammable and explosive environments (chemical industry, mining). |
| Number of channels | Basic type: 2-4 channels (lifting, left and right translation).
Advanced type: 6-8 channels (multi-speed adjustment, emergency stop, auxiliary functions). |
| Button type | Mechanical buttons, touch screen, joystick (precise control). |
| Battery Type | Dry battery (AA/AAA): lasts 1-3 months and is easy to replace.
Lithium battery: rechargeable, lifespan 2-5 years, supports low battery reminder. |
| Maximum control load | Adapt to the rated tonnage of the electric hoist (such as 1-50 tons). |
wired remote control
Features:
Strong stability: connected through physical cables, signal transmission has zero interference, suitable for workshops or high-risk scenarios with complex electromagnetic environments.
Economical and practical: low cost, simple maintenance, suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises with limited budget.
Limitations: The operating range is limited by the cable length (usually ≤10 meters), and the flexibility is low.
Applicable scenarios: environments with fixed workstations and frequent operations over short distances, such as fixed-point lifting on assembly lines.
wireless remote control
Features:
Flexible and efficient: Using radio (such as 2.4GHz frequency band), infrared or Bluetooth technology, the operating range can reach 50-200 meters.
Security upgrade: supports emergency stop, signal encryption, and multi-channel anti-interference functions to reduce the risk of misoperation.
Intelligent expansion: Some models support multi-device binding and hierarchical permission management.
Applicable scenarios: Large warehouses, ports, construction sites, and other scenarios that require long-distance mobile operations.
Basic electric hoist wireless remote control
Features:
Standard lifting/panning control buttons support single-speed or double-speed adjustment.
Waterproof and dustproof design (IP65 level), suitable for high temperature and dusty environments.
Long battery life (AA battery or lithium battery, battery life 1-3 months).
Explosion-proof electric hoist remote control
Features:
It has passed ATEX/Ex explosion-proof certification, and the outer shell is made of flame-retardant materials to eliminate the risk of sparks.
Suitable for flammable and explosive environments such as petroleum, chemical industry, and mining.
Reinforced sealing structure, impact resistance and corrosion resistance.
Electric hoist intelligent programming remote control
Features:
Built-in PLC or IoT module can preset lifting path, load limit and automatic alarm.
Supports mobile App monitoring and data recording (such as operation logs, fault code analysis).
Multi-protocol compatible, adaptable to different brands of electric hoists.
Electric Hoist Radio Frequency (RF) Remote Control
Wide coverage (up to 500 meters), strong penetration, suitable for multi-story factory buildings.
It has excellent anti-interference ability and supports multiple devices working at the same time.
Electric hoist with Bluetooth remote control
Low power consumption, precise pairing, suitable for small-scale high-precision control (such as laboratories, clean workshops).
It needs to be matched with a special receiver, which is more secure.
Electric Hoist WiFi/4G IoT Remote Control
Support remote cloud control and realize cross-regional device management.
It can be integrated into the industrial Internet of Things system and synchronize data to the central control platform in real time.
When selecting the electric hoist with remote control, the use environment should be used as a reference to select the appropriate remote control.
