Whilst smaller and lighter than its various counterparts, the Quadrix remains, according to the manufacturer, a robust piece of kit.
Boasting a standard range of 100m, the handset is ideal for controlling up to three two-step drives thanks to its eight individual reinforced two-step push buttons. All of these are easy to operate when wearing gloves, with six being reserved for drive commands, while the other two are used for such functions as ‘crane on’, ‘horn’ or lights on/off’.
Also, its re-chargeable NiMH battery means that when used for around two hours per day, the Quadrix can work for up to 20 days without the battery having to be re-charged.
Crane Care radio specialist Mark Hollyhead said: “Ours is always a tight marketplace and we are confident that in launching the Quadrix, we have stolen a march on our competitors by bringing an equally effective but more compact and lightweight unit to the table.”
Weighing only 330 grams, the Quadrix is a user friendly handset, fitting comfortably into most pockets while “still promising the same high levels of performance and functionality as its predecessors,” according to the manufacturer.
Hollyhead added: “In addition to its sheer convenience, the Quadrix benefits from having in-built automatic frequency selection (AFS), which, as a non interruptible system, means that in areas with high radio density, signals on various frequencies from neighbouring devices won’t interfere with its performance.”
A ‘stop’ impact switch can be used in case of emergency.
