Steelbro Sidelifters have three types of control systems - Analogue, Digital and SMARTlift. Digital control and SMARTlift generally have radio remote controls and the details on how to operate them are in the SMARTlift chapter of this manual. This section details the remote control for the Analogue control system.

Note that while the operating control systems and their remotes are different, the joystick operations are almost the same.

All operator controls are on the remote control box. This remote control box contains:

Two joystick controls that operate all lift arm and stabiliser leg operations
A two position stay put switch for High /Low Speed
A three position stay put switch to select module traverse , stabiliser leg and lifting arm operations
A Red "Mushroom" type stop button for Emergency Stop

As an option the Sidelifter can be specified with radio remote control. Both the cable and radio controls are identical in function.

Sidelifter control valves have detachable manual levers. In the event of an electrical breakdown the operating cycle can be completed manually by using these levers. The levers are stored in tool box.
