Crane controls & automation
Modern controls make your crane safer, more precise and easier to operate. MAZ Krantechnik provides crane controls and automation for cranes and hoists of every make: PLC controls, radio remote controls, load measuring systems and overload protection – in Vienna, Lower Austria, Burgenland and across Austria.
PLC crane controls
We design and program PLC controls for cranes, replace outdated contactor controls and commission the system. A PLC crane control gives clear fault messages, less wear on switching devices and is easy to extend later.
- Design, programming and commissioning
- Replacement of old contactor controls
- Integration of frequency inverters for smooth starting and precise positioning
- Documentation and training for your staff
Radio remote control for cranes
With a radio remote control the operator moves freely and keeps the load and surroundings in view. We retrofit radio remote controls, set them up for your crane and service them – also in addition to an existing pendant control.
Load measuring and overload protection
Load measuring systems, overload protection and load displays show what is on the hook at all times and protect crane, load and staff from overload. We retrofit, calibrate and integrate them into the controls.
Fixing control faults quickly
If the crane does not respond as usual, we find the fault in the controls, sensors or radio remote control. In case of a breakdown, call our 24/7 breakdown service.
For cranes of every make
We automate overhead, bridge, gantry and jib cranes and hoists of every make. The matching electrics – control cabinet, wiring, power supply – are covered under Crane electrics & power supply. New controls are often the core of a crane modernisation.
Modernise or retrofit your crane control?
Whether a new PLC control, radio remote control or overload protection – we advise you on the right solution for your crane system and handle planning, implementation and commissioning.
Frequently asked questions
Can a radio remote control be retrofitted?
In most cases, yes. We check your crane controls and safety functions, choose a suitable system and commission it.
Is it worth replacing an old contactor control?
Often, yes – especially when faults keep recurring or spare parts are hard to get. A PLC control shows faults clearly, wears less and can be extended.
What does a load measuring system do?
It shows the current load on the hook. Together with overload protection, it prevents the crane from being loaded beyond its capacity.
Do you program controls for cranes of every make?
Yes. We design, program and service crane controls for every make.
Which regions do you cover?
We are based in Vienna (1110) and work in Vienna, Lower Austria, Burgenland and across Austria.
