Ascom is proud to announce a revolutionary device for the industrial and boat lifting sectors. Ascom is the first Boat-hoist manufacturer to provide this technology which offers countless advantages for the operator.

This device eliminates all the potential problems associated with reduced operator visibility during all handling operations.

It is common knowledge that when the boat is hanging on the slings, and the operator has to drive the machine another person is required to guide the driver. This is necessary to avoid potential damage to either the machine, the load or other objects in the vicinity.

Now, thanks to the revolutionary driving system guided by our Proportional Remote Radio Control, it is possible to eliminate these potential problems and difficulties for the operator, guaranteeing lower overhead costs and increased safety during the handling stage.

The operator, remaining on the ground, is able to move around the machine and load and, before effecting any manoeuvres decide on the most appropriate.
