ASE Phase 5 control system
The Advanced Safety Electronics (ASE) Phase 5 Control System integrates crane, body, and chassis controls into one intelligent operating platform.
Designed and developed by Summit, Phase 5 combines intuitive controls, advanced safety features, real-time diagnostics, and customizable operating preferences to improve operator confidence, increase productivity, and simplify daily operation.
ASE Phase 5 is more than a crane control system. It is an integrated operating platform that combines advanced safety, fully proportional wireless control, real-time diagnostics, and customizable system settings. From the cab control panel to the touchscreen display and wireless remote, every interface is designed to improve productivity, simplify operation, and keep critical information within easy reach.
