ASE Phase 5 control system

Summit’s innovative Advanced Safety Electronics (ASE Phase 5) crane control system has elevated jobsite safety and performance.

We’ve combined crane, body, and chassis operations with functional safety using a network of switches and sensors to communicate data.

Advanced Safety Electronics reduces the risks of working in hazardous conditions, takes the guesswork out of crane operation with automated protection features, and gives you information to make safe decisions. Based on the robust J1939 Protocol, we can incorporate the telematics data into your fleet management solution.

Outrigger Control

Stand back to deploy and stow your outriggers and stabilizers from the crane remote control.

LMI Data

When operating the crane with your wireless remote, you have all the information needed to make quick, informed decisions about safe load handling.

Cab Control Panel

A small push-button panel in the cab controls the PTO and lights. You’ll also get audible and visual alert notifications. For instance, if you forget to stow your crane remote and try to leave the jobsite, the panel will signal you with repeated beeps and flashes. Go back to the main panel to resolve the issue.
