Cavotec develops lightweight RRC

Cavotec has developed a lightweight radio remote control (RRC) unit for operators controlling equipment such as mobile cranes and tower cranes over extended periods.

The MC3100 is lighter and more compact than many other systems developed by Cavotec broadening the scope of RRC applications. All the safety features and robust qualities of other Cargotec units designed for the oil, gas and mining sectors have been incorporated into the MC3100.

“The MC3100 system responds to three key demands identified by our customers: safety, ergonomics and the capacity to perform under severe mechanical stress,” explains Cavotec Microcontrol managing director, Peter Grönholm.

“Key design elements include the option for users to readily adjust the height and angle of the unit from their belt. Despite its compact size, the MC3100 fulfils the highest possible industry safety standards for RRCs and equipment manufacturers."

"While Cavotec’s existing RRC units tend to be employed for short periods of time to control heavy machinery, the MC3100 is ideally suited to constant or frequent use in the general industry applications.”
