Locomote 90
Åkerströms has more than 50 years of
experience in developing radio control
for industry and its specific needs. Åkerströms’ locomotive remote control system
was developed to provide the safety and
reliability that operators need for wireless
control within freight transport operations or heavy industrial environments,
such as steel works and mines.
Switching-yard personnel can operate
driverless locomotives with Locomote
90, Åkerströms’ product for remote
control for locomotives. They can
easily control the locomotive with a
joystick on the Locomote transmitter,
which is positioned on the front of their
bodies in a comfortable carrier. Using
Locomote, they start, run, and stop the
locomotive and thus have total control
of the train’s movements.

Flexible solution.
The receiver, is inside the locomotive
and communicates with the locomotive’s control system. And it’s future-

proof: this flexible solution enables us
to adapt it for new or reengineered
controls systems.

Safer and more efficient.
Thanks to locomotive remote control,
switching is safer and more efficient
compared to manual switching that
demands two persons. Locomote minimizes risk for musculoskeletal injuries
(drivers need not climb up and down
from the cabin), risk for accidents (such
as being pinned), and risk for slipping
(on wet or greasy surfaces).

Standard or tailored.
The Locomote 90 system comes with a
transmitter, receiver, and charger. There
are two transmitter models to choose
from and several receiver options,
available in a standard model, or it can
be tailored to enable customer-specific
functions.
