“Cranes, lifting, and hoisting is a big industry for us; we hope to see many interested customers for a wireless solution to tower, mobile, and other crane applications. However, besides cranes and winches, there are many more construction applications that we can offer remote controls for, including shovels, concrete trucks, water pumps, drilling equipment, aggregates, etc.”

- Ludovic Giroud, Managing Director Tele Radio France

Tele Radio and Åkerströms are both headquartered in Sweden and are part of the Allgon Group, having been acquired in 2018 and 2015 respectively. This will be the first time that the business will have such an international presence at Intermat. Organisers report that one in three visitors attend from abroad; 160 countries are represented in the aisles; and 70% of the 1,000 exhibitors are from outside France.

Remote control systems
The full Tele Radio range will be on display during the show. Also on display will be the latest Panther T29-12 handheld transmitter, which was launched last year. The 12-step PLd-certified push-button hand transmitter can control a total of 24 different functions at a high security level.

Also on show will be the TEQ waist transmitters. The TEQ line is available in two versions—Basic or Custom—and is targeted at the mobile vehicle sector, including recovery; concrete pumping trucks; drilling, excavators, and earthmovers; lawn mowers; and truck cranes.

The Basic line is equipped with standard components and specifications to serve a large portion of the market, at an attractive price; for more exceptional applications, the line can be customised to suit special requirements at the point of use.

As Intermat visitors will discover, several Tele Radio facilities in Europe now sell Åkerströms systems, including the Sesam 800 product line in Benelux, France, Ireland, and the UK. Sesam transmitters and receivers complement Tele Radio’s own T20 / T60 products.
