Remote control systems and upgrades
Precision, safety and control — right in your hands
Smarter crane operation starts with the right controls
We offer advanced remote control systems and upgrades to enhance the performance, safety, and ease of crane operations.
If you’re looking to upgrade your current system or integrate remote functionality into a new setup, Falcon Cranes provide customised solutions tailored to your site, equipment, and operators.
All systems are installed, tested, and supported in-house, with training provided to ensure operators are confident and compliant from day one.
Because better control means better outcomes — for your people, your plant, and your project.
Why upgrade to remote crane control?
Modern construction sites demand faster workflows, tighter coordination, and higher safety standards. Remote crane control delivers all three — improving visibility for operators, reducing physical strain, and enabling safer movement in high-risk or hard-to-reach areas.
Falcon Cranes’ remote systems are:
- Ergonomic and easy to operate
- Fully compliant with Australian safety standards
- Custom-configured to suit your crane and project needs
- Engineered for durability and reliability on active job sites
From simple replacements to full upgrades, our systems provide real-world benefits for both new and existing cranes.

Frequently asked questions
Can I retrofit remote controls to an existing crane?
In most cases, yes. We can assess your current system and provide a custom upgrade plan using manufacturer-approved components. We’ve successfully retrofitted both older cranes and those with limited original control functionality.
Are your remote systems compliant with Australian regulations?
Yes. All systems are compliant with Australian Standards, and our technicians ensure proper installation and operator training is completed as part of handover.
How do remote controls improve site safety?
Remote controls allow the operator to maintain a safe distance from loads, reduce exposure to high-risk areas, and gain better visibility of lifts from ground level or designated positions. This reduces the chance of error and improves lift precision.
What happens if the remote control fails on-site?
We maintain and service all equipment regularly and keep spare units and parts on hand. In the event of a fault, our team will respond quickly to repair, replace or reconfigure the unit so your crane can get back to work with minimal downtime.
Do you provide training for remote control operation?
Yes. All remote systems include training and familiarisation for your operators. We’ll walk through safe operation, emergency procedures, and system features to ensure your team is confident and capable from day one.
