Wireless Anti-Two Block Switch
Wireless ATB Overview
Kar-Techs wireless ATB is just like any other ATB with two major differences: accessibility and cost. Our wireless ATB is a reliable system for replacing the traditional mechanical switch and troublesome cable reel. This wireless system eliminates both the cable reel and the anti-two block switch and the headaches associated with them. The self-contained switch is immune to mechanical failures and water damage since both the switch and the receiver are designed with solid state components which are fully encapsulated; the system is designed to be as hassle-free as possible. Theres no need to worry about the potential for a cable being broken by branches or other objects, and no more need for a cable reel. This is also a perfect solution to eliminate the corrosion factor in the reel contacts and their loose springs. Installation is as simple as mounting the wireless switch at the boom tip and installing the receiver at the base of the boom. This simple installation allows OEMs to reduce manufacturing cost by removing brackets, wire guides and the associated labor. As is the case with all of Kar-Techs products, this switch is made to withstand the harsh environment of mobile applications.
