Route to Market

Built around how the product actually reaches the customer

These products reach market through crane companies, controls integrators, distributors, consulting engineers, industrial owners and direct application specification. Arvanta builds the route to market around how the product is specified, purchased, installed, commissioned and supported.

Radio remote controls

Radio remote control systems

Handheld and belly-box transmitters, receivers, telemetry and feedback displays for overhead cranes, hoists and industrial machinery. Sold through crane builders, crane service companies and industrial distributors, and specified on both new equipment and retrofits of existing cranes.

  • Handheld and belly-box transmitters
  • Receivers, relay and bus-interface outputs
  • Two-way telemetry, load display and diagnostics
  • Multi-crane and tandem operation
  • Retrofit packages for existing cranes

Positioning and sensing

Positioning, anti-collision and safety sensing

Laser and encoder positioning, anti-collision and zoning, area scanners, no-fly zones and operator-protection sensing. Specified by crane builders, controls integrators, consulting engineers and plant safety and reliability groups.

  • Laser, encoder and absolute positioning
  • Crane-to-crane and crane-to-structure anti-collision
  • Zoning, no-fly areas and restricted-travel control
  • Area scanners and personnel protection
  • Sway control and precise load spotting

Monitoring

Load monitoring, access control and condition monitoring

Load cells and overload protection, operator access and authorization, usage and duty tracking, remote diagnostics and predictive-maintenance platforms.

  • Load monitoring and overload protection
  • RFID and card-based operator access control
  • Duty-cycle, usage and service-life tracking
  • Remote diagnostics and fleet dashboards
  • Predictive maintenance and reliability analytics
