<strong>NexStar</strong> by Auto Crane uses new advanced <strong>control</strong> technology to produce<br />

the first truly <strong>proportional</strong> truck mounted <strong>crane</strong> <strong>control</strong>. It means that for the<br />

first time the operator can <strong>control</strong> the <strong>crane</strong> functions simultaneously and<br />

<strong>proportional</strong>ly fully independent of each other. So you can ramp up or ramp down<br />

while lifting the load or rotating the boom. The multi-speed <strong>control</strong> provides the operator<br />

with the ability to <strong>proportional</strong>ly operate the <strong>crane</strong> with 100% power at 4 different speed<br />

settings. This gives the operator un-matched <strong>control</strong> to precisely and effortlessly place<br />

even the toughest load.<br />

<strong>NexStar</strong> <strong>totally</strong> <strong>proportional</strong> <strong>crane</strong> <strong>control</strong><br />

<strong>system</strong>...<strong>only</strong> <strong>available</strong> from Auto Crane.<br />

The <strong>NexStar</strong> by Auto Crane is made up of three individual<br />

integrated <strong>system</strong>s. The transmitter, receiver and hydraulic<br />

valve bank each play an integral part to make the <strong>NexStar</strong><br />

<strong>crane</strong> <strong>control</strong> <strong>system</strong> truly <strong>proportional</strong>.<br />

On board Emergency stop is<br />

included as a safety interface.<br />

An industry first. All functions are <strong>proportional</strong><br />

at 100% power with four different speed<br />

settings. Providing better load <strong>control</strong>.<br />

The transmitter is IP66 rated and CE<br />

certified for European applications.<br />

The new state of the art FM transmitter<br />

is 70% lighter than its predecessors with<br />

a keyboard that eliminates the bulky<br />

trigger/toggle switch operation.<br />

Estimated 100 hours of <strong>crane</strong><br />

operation time on just 2 AA batteries.<br />

The <strong>NexStar</strong> Transmitter<br />

The <strong>NexStar</strong> <strong>system</strong> gives the <strong>crane</strong> operator,<br />

for the first time, the ability to operate multiple<br />

<strong>crane</strong> functions simultaneously and with <strong>totally</strong><br />

<strong>proportional</strong> <strong>control</strong>; fully independent of each<br />

other. You are no longer limited to just one<br />

function at a time. You can boom out, rotate<br />

the <strong>crane</strong>, and move the hook up and down all<br />

at the same time; improving load movement,<br />

placement, and job safety.<br />

More <strong>NexStar</strong> Features<br />

The feature rich <strong>NexStar</strong> <strong>system</strong> offers many<br />

more benefits that work together to provide<br />

the next generation of <strong>crane</strong> load management<br />

for the work truck Industry. In addition to the<br />

three major components, there is a series of<br />

built in transducers and sensors that provide<br />

the ultimate in safe <strong>crane</strong> operation. Dual axis<br />

sensors on the truck provide feedback if the<br />

vehicle is located in an unlevel position. A<br />

<strong>crane</strong> status indicator light provides a warning<br />

if the vehicle is not level.<br />

The future of truck mounted <strong>crane</strong> <strong>control</strong> is “NOW”. <strong>NexStar</strong> <strong>totally</strong><br />

<strong>proportional</strong> <strong>crane</strong> <strong>control</strong> <strong>system</strong>...<strong>only</strong> <strong>available</strong> from Auto Crane.<br />

The belt clip allows the<br />

operator to use both hands for<br />

improved working capability<br />

and increased safety. Also<br />

helps prevent accidental loss<br />

or damage on site.<br />

The <strong>NexStar</strong> Receiver<br />

Another industry first. The receiver includes a<br />

LCD display screen that provides feedback to the<br />

operator on the overall operation of the <strong>crane</strong>. The<br />

display shows the status of the <strong>crane</strong> in general<br />

and in the event of some malfunction, error<br />

messages are displayed, pinpointing the trouble<br />

spot. This receiver also <strong>control</strong>s all functions of<br />

the total <strong>system</strong> including outputs to the hydraulic<br />

valve bank. This insures repeatable and constant<br />

performance at all temperatures and loads.<br />

The <strong>NexStar</strong> Hydraulic System<br />

Through its unique valve bank <strong>NexStar</strong> is designed so<br />

that individual <strong>crane</strong> functions operate in parallel, giving<br />

each function the ability to operate independently. This<br />

means that the operator has the ability to boom out or<br />

rotate the boom and make a lift at the same time. The<br />

hydraulic coils are fully sealed and designed to operate<br />

in the harshest environments. Plus the <strong>NexStar</strong> hydraulic<br />

<strong>system</strong> reduces <strong>system</strong> back pressure preventing the<br />

buildup of waste heat that could affect the performance.<br />

As standard, a 10 micron filter is used to insure high<br />

performance and trouble free operation, addressing the<br />

most prominent cause of hydraulic <strong>system</strong> malfunctions.
