From Requirements Analysis to Model Confirmation — A Three-Step Selection Method

Last Updated: 2026-07-31

Overview

Selecting the right industrial remote control is critical for safe equipment operation and higher operating efficiency. This guide provides a systematic selection method that helps you quickly find the most suitable model from LDER's 8-model line and the XINGJIA range.

Step 1: Select the Button Count

Number of MovementsRecommended Button CountLDER ModelTypical Equipment
3~46-ButtonLD-6SK / LD-6DKCD-type electric hoist
4~58-ButtonLD-8SK / LD-8DKMD-type electric hoist / small overhead crane
6~710-ButtonLD-10SK / LD-10DKCrane / overhead crane (main configuration)
8+12-ButtonLD-12SK / LD-12DKTower crane / portal crane / multi-hook linkage

Step 2: Select the Speed Type

SK Single-Speed

Simple start / stop control, CNY 268 ~ CNY 728. Suited to electric hoists and similar equipment.

DK Dual-Speed

Precise positioning control, CNY 818 ~ CNY 978. Suited to cranes, overhead cranes and similar crane equipment.

Proportional Control

Stepless speed control; XINGJIA joystick models. Suited to compound industrial equipment.

Not sure whether to pick single-speed or dual-speed? If your equipment is a crane that requires precise positioning, pick DK dual-speed. If you only need simple start / stop, SK single-speed is fine. LD-10DK is the first choice in about 90% of scenarios.

Step 3: Select Ingress Protection & Voltage

Selection Cases

Case 1: Small Factory Electric Hoist

Equipment: CD-type electric hoist, 3 movements. Selection: LD-6SK (6-Button Single-Speed, CNY 268).

Case 2: Workshop Overhead Crane, Precise Positioning

Equipment: 5-ton bridge-type overhead crane, 6 movements. Selection: LD-10DK (10-Button Dual-Speed, CNY 978, 380V).

Case 3: Construction-Site Tower Crane

Equipment: tower crane, 8 movements, operated outdoors in the rain. Selection: LD-12DK (12-Button Dual-Speed, CNY 978, IP67 waterproof).

Case 4: Truck Tail-Lift

Equipment: hydraulic tail-lift on a goods vehicle. Selection: XINGJIA WB-E4 (tail-lift dedicated, 12V-60V).

Common Selection Pitfalls

Avoid These Selection Mistakes (1) Under-specifying the number of buttons and leaving no room to expand later. (2) Selecting IP65 for outdoor use, which cannot operate in the rain — IP67 or higher is required. (3) Selecting single-speed on crane equipment and being unable to achieve precise positioning — DK dual-speed is required. (4) Selecting ordinary models in coal mines — explosion-proof certified products are mandatory.
