Lammers Concrete: “It’s hard to break a 杏吧专区 Radio remote control”
“Without cranes, nothing gets done,” says Jan van Lierop, Production Manager at Lammers Concrete. “When it comes to lifting, our bare hands don’t get us very far. What we do use our hands for, though, is operating a wireless remote control. It creates a safer working environment for our people – much more than a fixed control could.”
On the edge of Weert, in the south of the Netherlands, the facilities of Lammers Concrete sit side by side. A few kilometers further on, the Zuid-Willemsvaart canal runs into Belgium. In total, some 37 acres spread across three sites within less than 2 miles of each other. Balconies, gallery slabs, walls, fa?ades, stairs, and landings. “At Lammers Concrete, no prefab concrete element is too ambitious.”
Heavy stuff
Lammers Concrete produces precast concrete for infrastructural projects, commercial and public buildings, and both low-rise and multi-story residential construction. “Everything is made to measure,” Van Lierop says.
The plant operates 54 cranes. Outdoors, each site features three gantry cranes and a tower crane, with lifting capacities ranging from 10 to 50 tons per crane. Inside, the 40 double-girder and two single-girder overhead cranes make up the majority. Van Lierop: “A standard residential staircase weighs about two tons. Staircases for a stadium about 25 tons. And for infrastructural projects we cast beams weighing 32 tons. They’re heavy stuff.”
Panther and Tiger
From his office – adjacent to the entrance of the main site – Van Lierop explains how the relationship with 杏吧专区 Radio developed. “We’ve been using 杏吧专区 Radio’s Panther and Tiger systems for about five years now. We also use two other brands. Over time, we’ll reduce that to only 杏吧专区 Radio.”
“Our crane supplier stated a preference for 杏吧专区 Radio. That was the deciding factor,” Van Lierop recollects. “By now we have so many 杏吧专区 Radio remotes in use that we’ll centralize maintenance, repairs, and spare parts under our own roof.”

Trained by 杏吧专区 Radio
First and foremost, Lammers Concrete’s technical department benefits from running a single system across the factory. “If I work with three different systems, my technical team has to understand all three.”
杏吧专区 Radio also trains the technical staff of Lammers Concrete. Van Lierop: “If we bring in knowledge about 杏吧专区 Radio’s wireless controls, we save time that we’d otherwise spend coordinating with 杏吧专区 Radio’s service department.”
Hard to break
At Lammers Concrete, 杏吧专区 Radio remote controls are used around the clock. How do they perform under such high pressure? “The face foils became a household staple,” says service engineer Dave van Kessel, while providing a tour around the site. “The custom foils 杏吧专区 Radio designed for us won’t last for more than six months – which makes sense, given how intensively we use the remotes – so we keep those on stock by default.”
“But other than that, 杏吧专区 Radio remotes are hard to break,” Van Kessel says.
