When a hoist is used daily in demanding conditions, every component must work reliably, safely and precisely. This is exactly why TER control units have gained a strong position in industrial hoist and crane solutions around the world.
With more than 60 years of experience, TER is known for high-quality control units that combine a durable structure, ease of use and modern technology.
More than six decades of industrial development
The story of TER (Tecno Elettrica Ravasi) began in Italy in 1962, when Sergio Blasi founded the company with a focus on control devices for industrial hoists. Over the decades, the company has grown from a local manufacturer into an international player whose products are widely used in various industries.
In the 1970s, TER started exporting to Spain, which launched the company’s international growth. In the 1980s, operations also expanded into new sectors, such as the wind power industry, where control devices are required to be particularly durable and reliable.
Today, TER is known for innovative solutions that combine mechanical quality and modern technology.
What makes TER control units a popular choice?
A crane control unit is much more than a push button box. It is the operator’s most important tool for controlling the equipment. A good control unit makes work smoother, safer and more efficient.
TER control units have become popular especially for the following reasons:
1. Ergonomic use
In an industrial environment, the control unit is often used for the entire shift. TER control units are designed to be ergonomic and easy to use even when the operator is wearing protective gloves or working conditions are challenging.
A clear button layout and a good feel reduce errors and make work safer.
2. Durability for demanding conditions
Dust, moisture, impact-causing work stages and continuous use place high demands on control units. TER products are designed to withstand everyday industrial use year after year.
Many models include:
- IP-rated enclosures
- durable materials
- safe emergency stop solutions
- long-lasting components
When the control unit works reliably, production also stays efficient and downtime is reduced.
3. Suitability for many applications
TER control units are used, for example, in:
- overhead cranes
- chain hoists
- jib cranes
- production lines
- logistics and warehouse solutions
The wide range of models makes it possible to find the right solution for different operating environments and needs.
Certified quality shows in practice
TER was one of the first Italian companies in the sector to hold ISO 9001 certification, as early as 1993. The current UNI EN ISO 9001:2015 quality system covers all of the company’s operations from design to production and after-sales.
In practice, the customer sees this as:
- consistent quality
- safe products
- reliable operation
- long service life
In industry, these qualities have a direct impact on work efficiency and total costs.
The right control unit improves safety and efficiency
The control unit is often seen as just a small part of the hoist system, even though it has a big impact on daily work. A well-designed control unit:
- speeds up work stages
- reduces incorrect use
- improves operational safety
- increases ease of use
When the right solution is chosen for the application, you achieve both better productivity and a safer working environment.
