When using remote or radio control, what is an important practice?

Changing the battery at the beginning of the shift is an important practice when using remote or radio control for overhead cranes. This ensures that the remote control is fully powered and that the operator won't face interruptions during operation due to a dead or weak battery. Starting the shift with a fresh battery contributes to safety and efficiency, reducing the risk of equipment malfunction or a communication failure between the operator and the crane.

Maintaining a fully charged battery is especially crucial in overhead crane operations, where precision and reliability are paramount. A sudden loss of power could lead to accidents or injuries, making battery management critical from the outset of any lifting operation.
