Tele Radio Group

VDL Container Systems manufacture container handling systems and rely on Tele Radio for securely connected remote controls.

Paul van der Loo, Product Manager at VDL Container Systems, collaborates with customers facing the potential of accidents daily. “Operators gain perspective on their surroundings when using a remote control. They can distance themselves from the intense heat of an industrial oven or a precariously balanced offloading truck. Safety fundamentally lies in the connection between transmitter and receiver – if this connection breaks, control is lost.”

“VDL Container Systems and Tele Radio began collaborating,” Van der Loo recalls, “when customers began voicing the dangers they face on the work floor. Imagine transporting a load of molten metal, an offloading garbage truck that tips backward to the point it could turn over, or an inner-city delivery amidst bustling traffic. Tele Radio provides end-users with the ability to take a step back and gain an overview of the situation they’re working in.”

VDL Container Systems opted specifically for Tele Radio’s T14-7 & T15-7 wireless remote controls, which belong to the TIGER line. Van der Loo: “Their proportional controls make them best in class in combination with our hydraulic systems.”

Proportionality is important to VDL Container Systems. Two-position or three-position buttons cause hydraulic systems to shock, potentially leading to unpredictable movement and ultimately accidents. “Operators require precise control,” says Van der Loo. “Tele Radio provides both the connection and precision we require.”

He concludes: “Our systems get exposed to harsh conditions in industries such as mining, agriculture, and construction, as well as extremely cold weather in the north of Europe and extremely hot temperatures in the south. Tele Radio guarantees a reliable connection between transmitter and receiver, regardless of the circumstances.”
