R160 Receiver

The R160 Receiver series is a family of industrial wireless control receivers used in radio remote control systems for heavy-duty and mobile equipment. These receivers pair with compatible handheld transmitters to enable secure, radio-frequency operation of machinery where wired control is impractical. Most units in the series are manufactured by Omnex (also associated with Autocrane), with additional receivers branded under Eaton and Bandit Industries.

Built for trusted wireless control applications, R160 receivers register switch, trigger, and proportional inputs from paired transmitters and provide multiple outputs for machine functions. Typical capabilities include proportional outputs for variable speed control, discrete functions such as engine start/stop and idle, emergency stop monitoring, and LED status indication.

Common Applications

• Overhead cranes, hoists, and winches
• Rotator wreckers and construction machinery
• Material handling systems
• Booms, conveyors, and hydraulic equipment

The series spans a range of model and part number variants, including proportional and standard configurations, all sharing the R160 Trusted Wireless Control Receiver design for reliable signal reception and secure transmitter pairing.
