The ASKR system, or Ranger, from BASE Engineering, allows operators to control the crane or other industrial equipment from outside the cab, eliminating the need for most two-man teams. The operator has the freedom to move around the work site, controlling the vehicle with precision and accuracy from a safe distance while getting the best vantage point. The system has up to 12 custom functions (including emergency stop capability), various modes of operation to suit specific needs, a range of up to 2,000 feet, and a 300-hour continuous-use, rechargeable battery. 800/924-1010; www.baseng.com.
