01
Distribute the load
Balance the load when it is unevenly distributed
Born from a customer request: not just to release the load by radio (see Ludwig Hook), but to bring it to the right tilt beforehand. A hydraulic cylinder shifts the centre of gravity until the load reaches the desired tilt.
Our combined remote control both aligns and releases the load — all at the push of a button, no manual intervention. Under certain conditions (cranes with a rigid arm), a hydraulic rotator can also add the desired rotation.
Certified by TÜV SÜD
Every Ludwig System product is tested for compliance with the relevant standards by TÜV SÜD — and we often go beyond the minimum requirements.
Balance & position
Level the load, or tilt it to any angle
Born from a customer request: not just to release the load by radio (see Ludwig Hook), but to bring it to the right tilt beforehand. A hydraulic cylinder shifts the centre of gravity until the load reaches the desired tilt.
Walls usually need to be brought level, while roof elements often need a specific pitch. Our combined remote control both aligns and releases the load — all at the push of a button, with no manual intervention. Under certain conditions (cranes with a rigid arm), a hydraulic rotator can also add the desired rotation.
Functions
Three movements for any task
02
Tilt to angle
Align the load to any tilt angle — for example, for roof installations
03
Optional rotator
Continuous rotation of the load via the radio-controlled rotator. For cranes with a rigid arm.
