VDL Container Systems: “A Tele Radio garante a segurança dos nossos operadores”
A VDL Container Systems fabrica sistemas de movimentação de contêineres e confia nos controles remotos da Tele Radio para conexões seguras.
The Challenge
Container-handling operators face multiple, high-stake hazards every shift:
- Restricted sight lines around hooklifts, skip loaders and chain systems make it hard to judge swing radius or tip risk.
- Hydraulic shock from two- or three-position buttons can jolt loads, creating unpredictable movement and potential rollovers.
- Heat, cold, and debris – from blazing industrial ovens to sub-zero Nordic yards – punish both people and equipment, raising the chance of connection failure and accidents.
One broken link between transmitter and receiver and control is lost – with costly, possibly fatal consequences.
The Solution
Tele Radio’s TIGER T14-7 & T15-7 proportional remotes give customers of VDL Container Systems fingertip control from a safe vantage point:
- Millimetre-level proportionality – pressure-sensitive buttons modulate hydraulic flow in real time, eliminating load “jerk.”
- Secure, failsafe connection – maintains command in the most extreme of circumstances.
- Up to 50 m working range – operators can step well clear of heat, noise, or swinging objects while keeping full visibility of the lift.
VDL Container Systems: “Tele Radio ensures our users’ safety”
VDL Container Systems manufacture container handling systems with customers facing the potential of accidents daily. “Operators gain perspective on their surroundings when using a remote control. They can distance themselves from the intense heat of an industrial oven or a precariously balanced offloading truck. Safety fundamentally lies in the connection between transmitter and receiver – if this connection breaks, control is lost.”
Paul van der Loo, Product Manager at VDL Container Systems, gives a tour of the company’s premises in Hapert, a small village in a region that has produced over 100 companies now part of VDL Groep. Founded in 1999, VDL Container Systems develop and manufacture hooklifts, skiploaders, and cable and chain lift systems, growing into an international corporation with customers across Europe and beyond.

Gaining an overview
“VDL Container Systems and Tele Radio began collaborating,” Van der Loo recalls, “when customers began voicing the dangers they face on the work floor. Imagine transporting a load of molten metal, an offloading garbage truck that tips backward to the point it could turn over, or an inner-city delivery amidst bustling traffic. Tele Radio provides end-users with the ability to take a step back and gain an overview of the situation they’re working in.”
“Imagine an inner-city delivery amidst rush-hour traffic. Tele Radio makes users gain an overview of the situation they’re working in.”
– Paul van der Loo, Product Manager at VDL Container Systems
VDL Container Systems opted specifically for Tele Radio’s T14-7 & T15-7 wireless remote controls, which belong to the TIGER line. Van der Loo: “Their proportional controls make them best in class in combination with our hydraulic systems.”
Reliable connection
Proportionality is important to VDL Container Systems. Two-position or three-position buttons cause hydraulic systems to shock, potentially leading to unpredictable movement and ultimately accidents. “Operators require precise control,” says Van der Loo. “Tele Radio provides both the connection and precision we require.”
He concludes: “Our systems get exposed to harsh conditions in industries such as mining, agriculture, and construction, as well as extremely cold weather in the north of Europe and extremely hot temperatures in the south. Tele Radio guarantees a reliable connection between transmitter and receiver, regardless of the circumstances.”
“Tele Radio is unmatched in establishing a secure connection, ensuring our users’ safety.”
