Heavy Industry | Crane Systems | Automation | By Columbus McKinnon | Jun 05, 2026


Columbus McKinnon is turning the page on what operators can expect from wireless control technology with the launch of the new Magnetek® Flex Pro™2 Radio Remote Controls, a next‑generation lineup built for the real world, where reliability and flexibility matter just as much as performance.

 

Designed for mobile hydraulic, material handling, and overhead crane applications, the Flex Pro2 brings a mix of rugged engineering and modern usability. It’s the wireless control that doesn’t just keep up with demanding worksites; it thrives in them.

 

A New Level of Control, Right in Your Hands

The Flex Pro2 family introduces a redesigned, ergonomic transmitter that is solid without being bulky. Operators get an intuitive button layout, improved tactile 3-step pushbuttons, and redesigned side-mount labels that last longer in tough environments.

Built for Harsh Environments

Flex Pro2 is gear that is meant to be used, even in unforgiving worksite conditions. These transmitters feature:

  • Enhanced optical proportional button technology that ensures consistent system performance
  • IP66 environmental protection to handle dust, moisture, and outdoor conditions
  • Ergonomic, lightweight housings designed to prevent operator fatigue

 

Customization Without the Hassle 

One of the standout features of the Flex Pro2 line is its flexibility. There are a range of options, including:

  • 4-, 6-, 8-, and 12-button transmitter configurations
  • RCP (Radio Control Programmer) that gives mobile integrators easy access to the device and allows for easy updates
  • Tethered CAN capabilities for reliable control when wireless signals are challenged
  • Optional magnet mount to easily secure the transmitter to a truck or machine for hands-free access

 

Whether a facility needs a simple setup or a more advanced multi‑function controller, Flex Pro2 can be tailored to fit the job.

 

Ready for Worksites of Today and Tomorrow

With the Magnetek Flex Pro2, Columbus McKinnon is establishing a clear direction: smarter, tougher, more adaptable wireless control solutions that evolve with the industry. It’s a meaningful upgrade for users looking to modernize their operations without complicating their workflows.
