Pendant Control Stations — Pushbutton Crane and Hoist Controls for US Overhead Crane and Industrial Applications
Pendant control stations are the hardwired pushbutton control devices that crane operators use to command bridge travel, trolley travel, hoist up and down, and auxiliary motions on US overhead cranes and hoists — providing direct, tactile pushbutton control from the operator's position on the floor beneath the load. OSHA 1910.179(g)(5) requires that the controls of cab-operated cranes be within reach of the operator, and pendant control stations are the standard solution for floor-operated overhead crane and hoist control across the full range of US manufacturing, automotive, steel, food processing, and industrial facilities. Crane-Controls.com stocks pendant control stations from four leading manufacturers for US crane builders, electrical contractors, and maintenance teams requiring reliable pushbutton crane control from a single specialist US source.
