Frequently Asked Questions

What is the main difference between Elfatek and Wieltra?

Both are Konya-based Turkish manufacturers with strong domestic R&D foundations. Elfatek differentiates through its 80-channel infrastructure and broad product family — EN X, MID, ESX, and MAX form factors covering a wide range of crane types. Wieltra differentiates through patent-protected technology and the EVO612 OHS Mode, which implements a sequential motion interlock that prevents simultaneous conflicting commands. For facilities where occupational health and safety compliance is a primary procurement criterion, Wieltra’s interlock feature is a direct technical response to that requirement.

Which crane remote control brand operates across the widest temperature range?

Remobat is specifically designed for wide operating temperature range performance — from high-heat foundry environments to sub-zero cold storage facilities. This makes Remobat the appropriate specification for outdoor applications in climates with significant seasonal temperature variation, as well as for indoor environments where process temperatures fall outside the range of standard industrial remotes.

Which brand is recommended for multi-shift facilities requiring operator authorisation?

Telemmote Power Key is the direct answer — the magnetic key system ensures only authorised operators can activate the crane, which is a specific OHS or insurance requirement in many multi-shift production environments. Elfatek’s Kuğu series with RFID-based operator authorisation is an alternative solution for facilities requiring the same control layer with a different technical implementation.

Are spare parts interchangeable between crane remote control brands?

No. Transmitter (hand unit) and receiver must be a matched pair from the same brand and compatible model series. A transmitter from one brand will not communicate with a receiver from another — the pairing is brand-specific and model-specific. When ordering a replacement hand unit, always verify the exact model and series of the installed receiver before purchasing.

Which brand supplies both crane and lift remote controls?

Aykos is one of the few brands offering both overhead crane remote controls (AYKOS PLUS Wind Series, Orion P series) and vehicle-mounted lift controls (Aykos Lift Plus) within a single product range. For logistics and transport operations running both crane and tail lift equipment, this single-brand coverage simplifies procurement, operator training, and service management significantly.

Which crane remote control brand is best for steel plants and welding environments?

Henjel is the strongest specification for high electromagnetic interference environments. The combination of GFSK modulation and PLL frequency stabilisation maintains signal integrity in the presence of the heavy EMI generated by arc furnaces, large welding installations, and high-current rectifier systems. In our field experience, Henjel’s PLL technology reliably prevents the intermittent signal loss that other brands can exhibit in the same conditions.

Do all seven brands carry CE certification?

All brands sold by Vinç Kumanda Servisi carry CE marking confirming compliance with applicable European directives. CE certification is a mandatory requirement for any crane remote control sold into European or CE-aligned markets — we do not stock or supply non-certified equipment. For applications in explosive atmosphere zones, verify ATEX certification requirements separately as this is an additional certification layer beyond CE.

What does GFSK modulation mean in practical terms for crane operation?

GFSK (Gaussian Frequency Shift Keying) is a modulation method that shapes the signal transitions to reduce spectral spreading — the result is a cleaner, more interference-resistant signal compared to standard FSK modulation. In practical crane operation terms, this means the control signal is less likely to be corrupted by nearby electrical noise sources, producing more consistent command response. When combined with PLL frequency stabilisation, as in the Henjel range, the system actively locks onto the correct frequency rather than drifting under interference pressure.

Can I use any of these brands for an outdoor port or marine environment?

All seven brands carry IP65 as standard, which provides adequate protection for most outdoor industrial environments. For direct coastal or marine exposure — salt air, sea spray, or high-pressure wash-down — specify a unit with corrosion-resistant housing treatment in addition to IP65 rating. For marine deck equipment specifically, also see our dedicated marine remote control range.

How do I get technical support or spare parts for these brands outside Turkey?

Vinç Kumanda Servisi supplies spare parts and provides remote technical support for all seven brands internationally. For replacement hand units, receiver boards, or technical troubleshooting, contact us with your brand name, model number, and a description of the issue — we will identify the correct component and advise on shipping options to your location.
