Remote control puts you and your team in charge of your equipment – safely and precisely. But you need to be able to make an informed choice when specifying radio-control equipment. HBC-radiomatic (UK) is the leader in high-quality radio systems for wireless control machinery and managing director Sharon Evans passes on her five top tips for choosing and using remote control units:
1. Choose quality
You get what you pay for so don’t let cheap imports tempt you into a choice that could cost a lot more in the long term. Quality products should be designed to the highest standards and subject to rigorous quality control – products that will go the distance, whatever the application.
2. Get what you need
Some manufacturers only offer standard, off-the-shelf products, leaving you to work around their limitations. With the support of specialists you can develop your own specification, tailored to the job you want the equipment to do. You need to be in control of your project from start to finish, working with people who have set the standard in radio control technology.
3. Support where you need it
It’s easy to overlook issues like maintenance and take the view that if it’s not broke, don’t fix it. While radio-control units can go on for years without much attention, having your unit serviced on an annual basis guards against potential problems and helps prevent equipment becoming unusable and, more to the point, unsafe. Money spent on an annual service could mean money saved on repairs and spares.
4. People who are qualified to do the job
HBC-radiomatic has been manufacturing and servicing radio controlled units for 40 years and offers a dedicated, fully-qualified service team to provide both on-site and trade counter support so you will get what you need – straight-talking, honest counsel and assured service. Fully trained ‘partner level’ technicians ensure you can rely on application advice, servicing, repairs and support throughout the lifecycle of the equipment.
5. There when you need it
Rigorous design features mean that many products are long-lasting and reliable but if problems do arise, you need to know that support will be with you, in the field, fast. Choose a supplier with a throuogh repair service that ensures minimal downtime and with on and off-site repairs.
Behind HBC-radiomatic (UK) there is a 70-year proven track record of developing and manufacturing ground-breaking innovation in radio-control technology, so when you choose our products, you can be sure you have made the right choice.
