About Autec Systems

Autec is an Italian manufacturer of industrial radio remote controls, established in Caldogno (Vicenza) and known for rugged, reliable systems designed for harsh environments. Their AIR series has been widely used in overhead crane and lifting applications across the UK.

While our primary radio control supply is now focused on Danfoss/Ikusi and Cattron systems, we continue to fully support existing Autec installations with repairs, spares, and maintenance. If you require a new Autec system, we can source and install these on request.
