That fancy remote control system I bought was a total $2,000 waste

I dropped two grand on a brand new remote control setup for my crawler crane last year, thinking it would make everything easier. First week on a job site in Newark, the thing kept losing signal every time I got near a steel beam. My old pendant system never had that issue. Has anyone else had problems with those newer wireless systems or am I just the unlucky one?

Steel beams and wireless signals just don't get along, sounds like you paid two grand to learn that lesson the hard way. My buddy had the same problem with his setup on a bridge job, ended up tying a wired remote to his belt loop like it was 1995. At least you can try selling it to someone working in a wide open field with no metal around.
