Radio-Controlled Pendants

Spanco offers a selection of radio-controlled pendant kits which allow the operation of a jib, gantry, or workstation crane from a safe distance with great accuracy and without the hindrance of cables or the obstruction of the view. These versatile kits are fully integrated with Spanco motorized cranes — reducing the need for additional field technicians during installation, saving time and resources.
Choose from single or double transmitter options with your choice of primary or rechargeable batteries.

Options & Components

Enhanced Safety Features
Transmitters continuously send stay alive pulses to the receiver. If the corresponding receiver loses sight of the
transmitter, the receiver safety relay(s) drop and cut power to the crane’s mainline.
Interference-Free Operation
System operates in the 2.4GHz frequency using 802.15.4 communication with direct sequence spread spectrum
(DSSS). This allows for interference-free operation of hundreds of systems, in the same area, at the same time,
without setting specific channels or keeping complicated frequency logs.
Extensive Customization Options
Some options are field programmable, while others require custom programming or software configuration. Notable
possibilities include creating safety zones that disable crane operation when a danger zone is breached, controlling
multiple cranes or hoists using a single transmitter, and implementing access control through PIN codes or keys.

Spanco cranes are designed in conformance with the following applicable standards:

Workstation Bridge Cranes: AISC Steel Construction Manual, OSHA 1910.179, ANSI B30.11, AWS D1.1/D1.6, and MMA MH27.2
Gantry Cranes: AISC Steel Construction Manual, OSHA 1910.179, ANSI B30.11, AWS D1.1/D1.2/D1.6, and CMAA 74
Jib Cranes: AISC Steel Construction Manual, OSHA 1910.179, ANSI B30.11, AWS D1.1/D1.6, and CMAA 74

All Spanco cranes have a design factor of 15% of the allowable capacity for the weight of the hoist and 25% for impact.

Fabrication Standards:

All welding performed during the manufacturing of Spanco cranes meets the following American Welding Society’s (AWS) standards: D1.2 for aluminum and D1.1 for steel.

Spanco is officially certified as an AWS Certified Welding Fabricator (CWF). This certification means that not only are all welders AWS Certified, but all processes and procedures adhere to AWS CWF requirements. Examples of requirements include annual calibration of all welding machines and Level 2 visual inspections on all load-bearing components.

Material Standards:

All aluminum used in the manufacturing of Spanco cranes meet ASTM International specification ASTM B308 for 6061-T6 aluminum.

All steel used in the manufacturing of Spanco cranes meets the following applicable ASTM International specifications:

Structural Steel Shapes: ASTM A-36
Structural Steel Pipes: ASTM A-53 Grade B

Surface Preparation & Painting Procedures:

Spanco adheres to the standards of the Society for Protective Coatings (SSPC) for all product surface preparation. Prior to painting, all Spanco crane components are deburred and descaled using power tools equipped with sanding discs and wire wheels. Components are then washed utilizing a high-pressure/high-temperature biodegradable degreaser solution. Parts are wiped clean and allowed to dry before the painting process. During painting, all components surfaces are coated with a quick drying, semi-gloss enamel, applied to a minimum dry-film thickness of 2 to 3 mils. A finishing coat is applied with a hot, airless, electrostatic spray paint system. Painted components are cured at air temperature.

Deflection Guidelines:

The following guidelines for deflection and stress are followed by Spanco engineers during the crane design process:

Workstation Bridge Cranes: All models are designed to approximately L/450
Jib Cranes: Freestanding (100, 101, and 102 Series), Mast Style (200 and 201 Series), Wall-Mounted Cantilever (300 Series), Articulating (400, 401, and 402 Series), and Foundationless models (600 and 605 Series) are designed to approximately L/150; Wall-Mounted Bracket (301 Series) models are designed to approximately L/600 at midspan
Workstation Jib Cranes: Wall-Mounted (WC Series) models are designed to approximately L/225; Freestanding (FR Series) models are designed to approximately L/150
Gantry Cranes: All steel series models are designed to approximately L/600; Aluminum models are designed to approximately L/450
