Joystick radio remote control for tower crane
AT/MP series Cattron

Equipment operators agree that the Cattron's Paddle-type controller is perfect for heavy industrial applications. Designed with both operators and maintenance personnel in mind, this heavy-duty controller is ideal for indoor and outdoor use. It is very easy to use, as most of the controls have been modeled after those commonly found in crane cabs. In addition to cranes, the paddle controller can also be used for railroad, military, and other industrial applications.

The Paddle controller uses advanced microcomputer electronics and surface-mount technology. It can be used with all Cattron's AT or MP Series receiver/decoder units and can be utilized with existing systems as either a replacement or spare controller. A variety of synthesized RF transmitter configurations can be provided with this controller providing both licensed and non-licensed radio channels. Cattron’s Toggle controller meets all FCC's requirements regarding narrowband and 12.5 kHz band widths.

The Cattron's Paddle controller consists of an encoder circuit board that uses industrial-grade mil-spec digital components, a powerful microcomputer and a sophisticated operating software code. All components are protected by a thick-walled, epoxy-coated extruded aluminum case. The ends of the housing are rubberized metal plates that make shock absorbing end "bumpers."
