4 Channel Fork Lift Truck Transmitter

Amber 4244 fork lift truck transmitter with red, yellow, green and blue buttons

Model 4244

Mounts next to the driver's seat, so drivers can open many doors without hand or fob transmitters. The position of the buttons becomes intuitive so the driver can keep his eyes on the direction of travel and save accidents. No wiring: fit it and go.

The model 4244 is a 4 channel radio transmitter that lives on the fork lift truck. It mounts on the fascia or on the engine cover to the right of the driver's seat, using the four TEK screws supplied. There's no wiring, so it's a quick fit and go.

It puts an end to lost and broken hand and fob transmitters, and it isn't limited to four doors. Paint a coloured spot on each door and one transmitter can open many doors across the same site.

The robust IP65 waterproof case has industrial metal push buttons, and the fitted lithium battery should last more than 10 years. It uses 433.92 MHz secure rolling code and works with the Amber model 4221 single channel, 4222 2 channel and 4224 4 channel receivers.

Controlling more than four doors

Paint a coloured spot on each door to match the transmitter buttons, and wire each door's receiver to the matching channel. Every fifth door is likely to be out of range of the first, so one button can serve several doors. For safety, programme each door to auto-close, so an incorrect button press can't close the wrong door.

Safety: program every door to auto-close, so that pressing the wrong button can never close the wrong door.

Mount it on the engine cover to the right of the driver's seat if you can. The driver can then feel the four buttons without looking and keep their eyes on the direction of travel. The red LED lights when a button is pressed, and its brightness shows the state of the battery.

A separate model 4221 single channel receiver for each door gives the best operating range, because each receiver sits in its own door control unit. Up to 30 transmitter codes can be stored in each receiver.

If the range is so long that it opens two doors together, check it again with the receivers fitted in their final positions and the transmitter fixed on the truck. If that doesn't cure it, consider the 4416 16 channel transmitter.
