Control Chief TeleChief TM Series Compact Wireless Radio Remote Control for US Overhead Crane and Hoist Applications
Control Chief TeleChief TM Series is a compact, lightweight industrial radio remote control system engineered for overhead crane, hoist, and material handling applications where a space-efficient, long-battery-life wireless control solution is the primary specification requirement. Available in three button configurations covering the standard range of US crane motion control requirements, the TeleChief TM Series delivers proven Control Chief wireless performance in one of the most compact and lightweight transmitter platforms available for US industrial crane radio remote control — backed by Control Chief's ISO 9001 certified manufacturing and one-year warranty from date of purchase.
The TeleChief TM Series operates on 310–330 MHz frequency and is fully compliant with FCC Part 15, as a non-licensed system requiring no frequency coordination or licensing for US installations. Operating range extends to 330 feet (100 meters), with 80 operating channels and a 32-bit security code providing 4.1 billion unique addresses, ensuring reliable, interference-free crane control in US industrial facilities operating multiple radio systems simultaneously. FM modulation, jammed button detection, low battery indicator, error detection and correction, and very low power consumption from two standard AA alkaline batteries provide the operational reliability and safety monitoring that US crane operators and maintenance managers require from a daily-use wireless control system. All circuitry is shock-proof mounted within glass fiber/ABS construction IP65 enclosures rated for operating temperatures from -45°C to +80°C — covering the full range of US industrial environments from refrigerated food processing facilities to outdoor steel and heavy industrial crane applications.
The receiver features a 4-point shock mount design for demanding mobile and industrial applications, pre-wired 6 ft. cable for straightforward installation into existing crane control circuits, LED display of power and contact closure status, and control relay rating of 10A @ 125VAC, 5A @ 250VAC, and 8A @ 30VDC. Independent common configuration supports mixed control voltage applications across different crane motion circuits — a practical advantage for US crane installations where bridge, trolley, and hoist controls operate at different voltages within the same system. Available in AC or DC power supply.
TeleChief TM Series Model Selection
Three transmitter configurations cover the standard range of US crane motion control requirements:
TM2000 — 4-button configuration controlling Up and Down motions plus configurable auxiliary RO/Start function. The correct specification for US hoist-only applications or simple single-axis crane control where a minimal button count and maximum compactness are the primary requirements.
TM4000 — 6-button configuration controlling Up, Down, East, and West motions plus configurable auxiliary RO/Start function. The standard TeleChief specification for US bridge crane and trolley travel control covering the four primary crane motions in a compact transmitter platform.
TM6000 — 8-button configuration controlling Up, Down, East, West, South, and North motions plus configurable auxiliary RO/Start function. The most fully specified TeleChief TM model for US crane installations requiring six-direction motion control — suited to gantry cranes, jib cranes, and multi-axis material handling systems where additional directional control is required beyond the standard four-motion configuration.

Control Chief TeleChief TM2200HT: Two-Speed Two Motion Wireless Hoist Control With E-Stop for US Crane and Hoist Applications
Control Chief TeleChief TM2200HT is a compact industrial radio remote control system engineered specifically for two-speed overhead hoist applications — delivering reliable 2-speed pushbutton wireless hoist control with distinct position feedback in one of the most compact and lightweight transmitter platforms available for US crane radio remote control. The TM2200HT is the TeleChief specification when two-speed hoist control is the primary requirement and the full multi-motion crane travel control capability of the TeleChief TM Series or Summit Series is not needed, providing US crane operators with a purpose-built 2-speed hoist wireless control solution backed by Control Chief's ISO 9001 certified manufacturing and one-year warranty from date of purchase.
The TM2200HT operates on 310–320 MHz frequency — fully compliant with FCC Part 15 and CE European directive as a non-licensed system requiring no frequency coordination or licensing for US installations. Operating range extends to 330 feet (100 meters). The transmitter's 2-speed pushbutton with distinct position feedback provides clear tactile differentiation between first and second speed — allowing crane operators to maintain precise hoist speed control without visual confirmation of button position during crane operation. Safety features include jammed pushbutton detection, low battery alert, 32-bit security code providing 4.1 billion unique addresses, error detection and correction, red mushroom pushbutton for mainline contactor emergency stop, and removable magnetic key to prevent unauthorized hoist operation. All circuitry is shock-proof mounted within a rigid glass filled nylon IP65 enclosure for long service life in demanding US industrial environments.
The TM2200HT transmitter runs on two standard AA alkaline batteries with internal antenna and shock resistant construction — very lightweight for comfortable single-handed hoist operation during extended crane operating shifts. Transmitter dimensions are 6.5" x 2" x 2.2" (H x W x D). The receiver accepts AC or DC power supply, features LED display of power and contact closure status, control relay rating of 10A @ 125VAC, 5A @ 250VAC, and 8A @ 30VDC, pre-wired 6 ft. cable for straightforward installation, and a 4-point shock mount design for demanding mobile and industrial hoist applications. Receiver dimensions are 6.5" x 3" x 2" (H x W x D) at 2.4 lbs less cable.
Primary US applications for the TM2200HT include standalone hoist installations where two-speed wireless control is required without full bridge and trolley radio remote control, retrofit wireless upgrades for existing two-speed pendant-controlled hoists where the pendant cable is the primary operational constraint, jib crane and workstation crane hoist control where operator mobility and cable-free operation improve both safety and productivity, and maintenance and service hoist applications where a compact, lightweight 2-speed wireless control system provides operational flexibility that fixed pendant stations cannot deliver.
