Overhead Crane Radio Controls
Overhead Crane Modernisation
Radio controls for overhead cranes offer a popular and effective way to modernise your existing lifting equipment. Remote control units improve safety for the user by enabling them to operate the crane in a position of better visibility and therefore reduced operational risk. They are quickly becoming the norm in the industry.
Radio control systems for overhead cranes are modern in their design, ergonomic and wireless. This enables more comfortable control for the crane operator, they can stand at a safe distance and benefit from using a better vantage point. They are also suitable for the remote operation of all crane movements.
Street Sabre Crane and
Hoist Controller
Introducing the Street Crane Co., Sabre. This extremely versatile system is manufactured in the UK and is easily integrated into your existing controls, maintaining all previous functions including emergency stop. It can be retrofitted onto any crane make or model.
Your input into the radio remote control is transmitted and received instantly by the receiver, which then controls the crane or hoist to carry out your task.

Robust Communication
Automatic frequency hopping technology is used to offer extremely secure signalling with minimal RF interference. This adds an additional level of security and safety to the system and also allows up to 50 controllers to operate simultaneously within a single factory.
In-Built Safety
- The Street Sabre from Street Crane Co (link) provides robust performance and safety compliance, protecting operators, equipment, and load.
- Wireless emergency stop certified SIL 2 PL d.
- IP65 ingress protection
- Aligned with the latest crane control safety standards.
- Optional command monitoring for protection against unintended operation.*
Ergonomic design with intuitive controls
The Street Sabre features a unique and innovative control handset that provides the operator with comfortable, single-handed operation. Unlike conventional push button systems, this design allows the operator to naturally select the correct command for the required crane operator, without taking their eyes off the load and thus increasing lifting safety significantly. Push button pressures are also designed to help reduce operator fatigue through continuous and repetitive use.
Availability
Thanks to the innovative battery technology, charging time is only 15 minutes for a full charge, and a mere 5 minutes of charging time is sufficient for 4 hours of continuous operation. This highly efficient system negates the need for any back up. The average estimated life expectancy of a Street Sabre battery is about 5 years, which is at least twice that of a traditional battery.
