funny you should bring that up. I have an older swing tube Mayco that I'm going to order a remote for. A four function Pump BossII is only $675.00. Not a bad deal I think. I only need on/off, but I am sure Mfg should be able to offer remote of any type for $1000 or less.

First it's the cost of a boom remote for a line pump. Secondly, most boom operators are never far from the boom. Mostly in line of sight.

Thirdly, will a boom remote operate 150 metres from the pump around a corner and under a concrete floor? 

the Ford F-550 mounted trailer pump we have has a wireless remote. no volume control or anything, all it is if Pump on and Pump Off. Set the volume and throttle and go to town :)

reed line pumps come with a remote

In my area if you would sit at the pump to babysit it, you would not get a second call back to a job.

Not faulting anyone that's just the way it is in the Northern states

My reed remote has Estop rpm on off forward and reverse. I wish it had a volume control and had a little more power. It never fails when a plane goes over or an emergency vehicle goes by it cuts off. Have to turn off the remote and start over. I also have problems in buildings sometimes. Gotta go stand somewhere else so it will connect. Sometimes that means using hand signals or a walkie so we can communicate.  I also wish it had a battle like meter. Nothing is worse than being in the middle of a pour and the remote dies. I think its a Base but will have to check. Sometimes a cable remote would be nice. 

 All it is, is a glorified garage door opener, you can't expect it to do much more. It would cost a lot more to make it do what you want it to.

Transcrete supplys a 4 stage remote and 2 hand pieces at no charge. Pump on/off, reverse and engine revs.

Just garage door type 433 Mhz they out perform Base, Remtron and other so called state of the art models.

The only Remtron that still perform and still on pumps after 20 years are the original old style on/off models.

Hello Dipstick, I think you can even find this remote in Norway watch for Datek, let me know if yo've some problems I can deliver this unite for you.    Timo

Don't dispair Dipstick, if that remote can operate a little electric motor, it will have enough guts to operate relays ... I say go with it. Nothing to lose.

Try with www.datek.as and let me know if you have some problems.

We have a schwing wpt70 and it has volume control on the remote.  It is an omnex remote from Schwing.  When we spec'd out this machine, this was an optional upgrade, I do not remember the cost but it was not cheap.  Very nice option to have though.

Crete I can buy several cords and a on/off switch for 700.00 wait till you drop it in water or step on it, set the output and pump.Why waste money on  stuff like that I'm Old School a lot easier to fix just carry a spare.

Forgot to add my stock remote also does horn and stroke. Only thing its missing is the volume control.  It even has a nice leather cover and clip. 

Hi

www.datek.net. Timos remote control is very good. À LOT Of functions and Alvesta work. He can sell it to You.

The remote is only half your problem. You will need something for the remote to signal. If you are wanting volume control not only do you need it on the remote you also need something to turn the valve once it gets the signal from the remote. The little motors that putz uses can get very expensive.

I just went through this with my line pump. Luckily I had an extra button on my remote that had no purpose, so I gave it one. But I still had to have something to turn the valve. So I took a window motor and a coupler and with some creative wiring got it to work.  The whole thing cost $45.00.

Here is a before & after pic.

 Just remember there's alway's a cost with any upgrade's.
