Benefits

ENHANCE SAFETY

Remove operators from hazardous jobsite conditions by controlling machines from a safe distance, eliminating safety risks, and reducing injuries from climbing on and off machines.

INCREASE PRODUCTIVITY

Restart production immediately following disruptive processes - such as blasting, decrease downtime with quick shift changes, and reduce fatigue by eliminating the effects of vibration, noise, and rough terrain.

MAINTAIN CONTROL

Retain smooth and precise machine control as if operating from the cab, maintain access to advanced machine features, built in safety features shuts down the machine due to power or communications loss.
