Safely communicating with your mobile workforce is the key to a crane operator’s success. In order to enhance crane-to-ground communications, WOLFF Onsite has developed a digital hands-free radio application that is installed within the cab of the crane.

Utilising a foot pedal system and speaker mic, the WOLFF Onsite Tower Crane Radio system allows the crane operatives to communicate with both the Slinger/Signaller and other crane operatives without removing their hands from the crane controls. In case of a power failure, the system has a backup battery that can last up to 4 hours.

Crystal Clear Communication

WOLFF Onsite’s tower crane radio system is designed with two-foot pedals; one for the Slinger/Signaller and the other for communication with other crane operatives, known as the ‘Crash’ radio.

The highest quality digital Motorola equipment has been used to ensure a crystal-clear signal. The radios also come with their own licences preventing interference which is particularly crucial in built-up areas.

CPA Compliant (Hands-free controls)

The crane’s radio system is equipped with hands-free controls that enable the operator to focus entirely on crane operations while staying in touch with the lifting team.

The radios are fully compliant with CPA TIN* and the BSI best code of practice for the safe use of tower cranes. TIN 017 states Radios systems fitted to tower crane cabs should be fitted with hands-free controls. Separate foot controls should be provided for normal and crash radio systems.

NOTE: A hands-free radio systems allow the crane operator to fully concentrate on crane operations, whilst maintaining
contact with the lifting team - critical for safe lifting operations.
