Industrial Remote Control Product Classification - Industrial Remote Control Encyclopedia

Classified by button count, speed type and control method

Last Updated: 2026-07-31

Overview

Industrial remote controls are commonly classified by button count, speed type, and control method. This guide walks you through each of these classifications and helps you match the right product to your own application requirements. It then uses the LDER and XINGJIA product lines as concrete examples to illustrate how each class maps to a real model.

Classification by Button Count

Button Count	Controllable Actions	Typical Applications	LDER Model	XINGJIA Model
2-Button	1~2 movements	Ascend / Descend on a Flat-Platform Goods Lift	-	E Series
4-Button	2~3 movements	Simple single-action electric hoist	-	Xinghai-4SY
6-Button	3~4 movements	CD-type electric hoist	LD-6SK / LD-6DK	Xinghai-6SY / Xingguang-6SY etc.
8-Button	4~5 movements	MD-type electric hoist	LD-8SK / LD-8DK	Xinghai-8SY / Xingguang-8SY etc.
10-Button	6~7 movements	Crane / overhead crane (main configuration)	LD-10SK / LD-10DK	Xinghai-10SY
12-Button	8+ movements	Tower crane / portal crane / multi-hook linkage	LD-12SK / LD-12DK	Xinghai-12SY
16~28-Button	Compound, multi-equipment	Specialised equipment with compound controls	-	Xingzhi custom joystick models

How to choose the right button count First count the number of movements your equipment needs to control: 2-3 actions call for 6-Button, 4-5 for 8-Button, 6-7 for 10-Button (covers about 90% of scenarios), 8 or more for 12-Button. LDER LD-10DK is the first choice in roughly 90% of crane scenarios and is regarded as the golden configuration.

Classification by Speed Type

Single-Speed (SK / S Series)

Each push-button corresponds to one movement (open / close, raise / lower). Press down to run at full speed, release to stop. Operation is straightforward and intuitive; suited to equipment that only needs simple start / stop control.

Applicable Equipment

Electric hoists, winches, mixers, belt conveyors and other simple start / stop equipment.

Advantages

Simple operation, single price tier, lower and more convenient maintenance.

LDER Price

CNY 268 ~ CNY 728 (transmitter + receiver set)

Dual-Speed (DK / DY Series)

Each push-button supports both fast and slow speeds. Pressing down engages the first speed (low-speed operation); continuing to press switches to the second speed (high-speed operation). Operators can move between high-speed running and low-speed fine-tuning at any time.

Applicable Equipment

Cranes, overhead cranes, tower cranes and other crane equipment that requires precise positioning.

Advantages

Precise positioning, higher efficiency, reduced collision risk.

LDER Price

CNY 818 ~ CNY 978 (transmitter + receiver set)

Multi-Speed / Proportional Control (Joystick Models)

Joystick control delivers stepless speed control; the output speed varies proportionally with how far the joystick is pushed, achieving the most precise fine-speed control.

Applicable Equipment

Compound industrial equipment, transfer machines and specialised cranes.

Advantages

Stepless speed control with proportional compound-action linkage.

XINGJIA Model

Xingzhi custom-series joystick models (8 / 12 / 16 / 20 / 24 / 28-button configurations)

Classification by Control Method

Category	Operation Method	Representative Products	Applicable Scenarios
Push-Button	Press buttons to control, with crisp tactile feedback	LDER full series / XINGJIA T / A / K / C / P / E series	The vast majority of industrial crane equipment
Joystick	Joystick push-pull control for stepless speed	Xingzhi custom-series joystick models	Equipment requiring proportional compound control
Hybrid	Push-buttons + joystick combined control	Xingzhi custom series	Multi-function, compound-equipment control
Dedicated	Tailored to specific equipment, excellent fit	XINGJIA WB-E4 tail-lift models / E series	Equipment dedicated to specific industries

LDER Product Matrix

Selection Guide

Three-Step Selection Method Step 1: Count the number of movements and choose the matching push-button count. Step 2: Look at the precision requirement and choose single-speed / dual-speed / proportional. Step 3: Look at the environment and choose the required ingress-protection level. Still not sure which one to pick? LDER LD-10DK (10-Button Dual-Speed IP67, CNY 978) is the golden choice for roughly 90% of scenarios.
