Shift operation, uninterrupted use, large amounts of waste – all technical devices that are used in waste incineration are exposed to heavy stress.
Therefore, the joysticks and foot pedals that you use have a high number of switching cycles.
With the control stations, you benefit from our integrated memory function, which stores the settings of each shift worker.
Crane ergonomics
The employees operating the cranes in waste incinerations plants in multiple shifts 365 days per year require a complete overview and concentrated focus. They move enormous amounts of waste to the incineration furnaces with perfectly fitting handles. An optimal seat and smooth control have a strong influence on the positive well-being of the employees during the sometimes monotonous work.
Control stations
Shift work and long hours of sitting are part of a crane operator's daily life, and it is paramount that a crane's control station offer the highest level of ergonomics, comfort and adjustability. Features like ergonomic backrests, fixed side support and headrests all contribute to healthy sitting positions. However, the adjustability of armrests, control consoles and suspensions must also be taking into consideration to improve the posture during crane operation and properly support the neck and back.
To support crane operators in Waste-to-Energy plants, we've introduced the ergonomic FSMMD Ultra that has been designed specifically for cranes in these facilities. The FSMMD Ultra offers electric position adjustments and the capability of transforming the station from a sitting to standing operating position. Featuring phone app control and memory functionality, this smart control station model allows operators to save their preferred operating positions and instantly restore them at the start of their shift. This bypasses the typical time-consuming manual readjustments after each shift change, allowing operators to get right to work.

Joysticks
With the joysticks JMS3, NS3, and VNSO we enable precision control and reliability. Whether traditional models with contacts or more modern models with Profibus technology, these joysticks are ideal for controlling cranes in waste incineration plants.
Our complete range of industrial joysticks can be fully customized to your application and requirements. From the operation type to the electrical output – you choose the equipment that is best suited for your control environment and operator's preferences. Our portfolio comprises a large variety of handles and grips that can also be customized with different buttons, switches, thumbwheels and electronic components.
