TER has decades of experience in designing and manufacturing pendant controllers, and now has four series of pendant control stations or wall-mounted control stations. TER pendant controllers are used in industrial and construction lifting plants to control gantry cranes, track cranes, jib cranes, wall-mounted jib cranes, tower cranes and winches for construction sites. The TER pendant controllers are used in the automation industry to command and control systems to remotely manage machines and processes, therefore reducing the need for human intervention. In the entertainment industry, TER pendant controllers are used in stage technology to control the equipment used to move stage sets, curtains and lighting rigs. The waste disposal industry uses TER pendant controllers to control the movement of trash compactors, scrap metal magnetic jibs and shredding equipment.

TER range of pendant controllers includes three series of pushbutton stations for auxiliary control, two pendant control stations, one wall-mounted control station and one series of pushbutton stations for direct control. Each available with 1 to 15 actuators depending on the unit requested. Each product variant has been developed based on technical, ergonomics, practicality and durability to give the control stations an innovative design, where each design element is linked to a specific technical function. The style and shape is the result of careful analysis of the product’s ergonomic aspects, aimed at achieving a design that blends in with the modern industrial environment. This makes TER pendant controllers very user friendly and easy to integrate. The controller casing features compact dimensions and anti-slip grooves that makes it easy to handle under any working conditions.

Each series of control stations has specific features which drastically reduce time and costs of installation and maintenance down time.

TER’s aim is to simplify the control of the machines equipped with its devices, designing reliable, ergonomic and intuitive safety products, capable of predicting the demands of the market and becoming the industry benchmark.
At the basis of this company mission is the will to establish a connection between market and company, by giving an increasingly central role to the sales department, seen as a continuous relationship between TER and its customers.
