Remote load control · Australia

Less waiting.
More lifting.

Control suspended loads from a distance. Vita Load Navigator helps reduce hands-on load adjustments, keeping safety central to every lift. ERNE Lifting supplies Vita Load Navigator and RocketLever systems, backed by training, local support and spare parts Australia-wide.

Systems for difficult lifts

The right control.
At the crane hook.

Remote orientation, offset reach and practical support for crews working with large, awkward or wind-affected loads.

01

Vita Load Navigator

The Vita Load Navigator connects below the crane hook. Sensors and electric thrusters hold or change the load’s orientation under remote operator control.

RocketLever

Reach beneath slab overhangs and perimeter screens. Combine offset lifting with remotely controlled load orientation.

How Vita Load Navigator works

Four thrusters.
Rapid response.

Four independently controlled thrusters respond rapidly to unwanted load rotation.

Greater separation. Less hands-on intervention. Control load orientation remotely to help reduce the need for crews to approach a suspended load to correct rotation. Hold the heading and recall two saved orientations for repeatable pickup and placement. Remote load control supports the site’s lift plan, exclusion zones and safe work procedures.

Control from pickup to placement

Precision you can repeat.

  • ±1° positional holdMaintain the selected angular orientation with GPS fix. Active correction prevents spin and rotational drift, helping crews place the load with fewer hands-on adjustments.
  • Two saved headingsStore pickup and placement orientations, then recall them for repeat lifting cycles.
  • Manual rotation and standbyRotate the load on command, engage automatic hold, or select standby between lifting operations.
  • Two controllers with every new orderSwitch operators through a controlled handover so the person with the best view can take charge at pickup or placement.

10–12 hours

Typical battery operating time, depending on usage and conditions. Typical charging time is 4–6 hours.

Battery and service support

Plan for the load. Plan for the wind.

Understand control authority before the lift.

The Vita wind-load tool considers load dimensions, weight, porosity and wind conditions to help assess the system’s ability to control rotation. ERNE Lifting can help review the application and trial the equipment on your site.
