2 | BENEFITS

Crucial advantages
in the field.
From mobile harbor cranes to reach stackers, from deck cranes to water guns on
firefighting boats: state-of-the-art equipment is used by virtually all areas of maritime
technology today. The efficient coordination of this equipment as well as the safe, fast
and easy operation of the respective machinery are of maximum importance.
The working environment is often extreme: permanent contact with salt water and
the daily operation under the harshest weather conditions present personnel and
machinery with enormous challenges. It is exactly in situations like these that HBC
radio controls offer crucial advantages.

Mobility and safety without distracting cables.

Thanks to our wireless control devices, operators are completely mobile at all times.
They can freely move within the working area and operate the equipment from a safe
location with a good overview of the situation. At the same time, the STOP switch is
always at hand allowing for a quick stop of machine functions in emergencies without
any loss of time. Furthermore, accident risks are prevented since there is no cable
that could pose a tripping hazard.

Efficient and time-saving.

HBC radio controls are carried directly by the operator and are always at hand,
but never in the way. From their location, the operators can activate all machine
functions and perform other duties when they are not operating the radio control.

All functions from a single source.

Thanks to high-performance transmission technology and sophisticated electronics,
most machine functions can now be controlled from a single, convenient control device.
The operator always has access to critical controls and data at their fingertips. This
facilitates coordination and can save valuable seconds in the event of an emergency.

4 | COMPETENCE

Safe and reliable: explosion-proof radio controls by HBC-radiomatic.

Safety
comes first.
In many maritime applications, technical equipment has to meet stringent legal
requirements. In addition, numerous machines in harbors or used offshore are
temporarily or permanently being operated in hazardous areas. For this reason, it
is key to work with reliable and competent partners.
HBC-radiomatic offers a wide range of radio controls with GL DNV approval. This
proven independent seal attests that our products meet extremely strict test requirements. As a result, our customers can rely on maximum transparency and safety.

The complete spectrum series is available with GL DNV approval.

This also applies to explosion-proof radio controls by

HBC-radiomatic. For more than 40 years, we have
developed and produced wireless controls for hazardous
areas and are, therefore, real EX-perts. Today, we offer
a wide choice of radio controls with approvals for Ex
zones 1, 2, 21 and 22 according to ATEX and IECEx.
In addition, HBC products are available with NEC 500 /
505 approvals. Therefore, we perfectly meet the global
needs of our customers.
