Grain Journal - January/February 2009 - (Page 152) PRODUCT REVIEW Locomotive Remote Control System Shuttlewagon, Inc. • Grandview, MO • 816-767-0300 • www.shuttlewagon.com Shuttlewagon, Inc., manufacturer of Shuttlewagon® industrial railcar movers, has introduced the Unity remote control system that operates on an FCC-licensed frequency exclusive to the system’s location. The Unity offers several advantages not found with remote control systems utilizing non-FCC-licenses or frequency-hopping. “Having a FCC-licensed frequency means the system will not be affected by the unlicensed radio frequencies used by many consumer products,” says Vice President Jack Highfill. “The system also features a ‘talkback’ feature that provides the remote operator important information on the vehicle’s operation.” • Remote vehicle startup and shutdown eliminates the need for an operator in the cab to turn a key to start or stop the engine. • LED screen displays critical talkback vehicle operating information. • The Unity remote control system can be field installed to existing C-Series Shuttlewagon railcar movers with a remote-ready option installed. “Using the Unity remote control system eliminates the need for an operator in the vehicle cab,” Highfill says. “It puts control of the mover safely in the hands of workers on the ground and helps improve safety.” Response No. 1521 • See ad on p. 111 Shuttlewagon Unity remote railcar mover control module. Features • An exclusive FCC-licensed radio frequency available to no one else in the system’s vicinity. L I N E R S ARGONICS, Inc.
