Remote-controlled tower cranes
Flexible tower cranes for smaller construction projects
View available cranesWhen to use a remote-controlled crane
Remote-controlled tower cranes are better suited to smaller construction sites where lifting requirements are more straightforward and site teams are looking for operational flexibility. Operated from the ground using a radio control unit, they can be a practical option for certain residential and commercial projects.
On suitable sites, remote-controlled cranes can help smaller teams manage day-to-day lifting operations more efficiently and reduce the need for a dedicated crane operator.
Frequently asked questions
What is a remote-controlled crane?
A remote-controlled crane is a tower crane that can be operated using a remote control rather than from a cab. This allows the operator to control the crane from the ground while maintaining visibility of the lift.
Where are remote controlled cranes commonly used?
Remote-controlled cranes are commonly used on smaller, lower intensity construction sites.
Can site staff operate a remote controlled crane?
Yes. Site personnel can be trained to operate a remote controlled crane, allowing construction teams to manage lifting operations without requiring a dedicated crane operator for every lift. The crane still requires pre-use checks which involve the operator climbing the crane.
