Crane Control

Smarter joystick control for smoother, faster crane work

xCrane PLUS is an advanced control mode for BMF forestry cranes that helps you work more efficiently and with less effort—especially during repetitive loading. It enables coordinated movements from the joysticks (even on cranes without sensors), so handling feels more natural and precise.
What you get with PLUS mode
  • Simultaneous movements from the joysticks for quicker, smoother operation
  • Parallel mode to coordinate boom movements with one joystick for easier, more consistent loading
  • Touchscreen control to switch between standard control and PLUS mode
  • Adjustable movement ratios to match the crane’s geometry and your operating style

xCrane system highlights
  • Supports up to 24 hydraulic functions (expandable with I/O modules)
  • 4.3" touchscreen (optional 5")
  • Fine-tuning for each function: speed, ramps, progression
  • Joystick calibration (filtering, deadband)
  • Working hours counter and productivity tools (e.g., Technion Quick Trim)
  • Practical functions like crane float for transport and trailer traction control (manual/automatic)
  • Free configuration tool available

Optional equipment
Seat/door switches, joystick alternatives, oil temperature/pressure monitoring, wireless remote compatibility, and an inductive extension sensor (recommended for xCrane PLUS).
