Having a joystick that performs consistently under all conditions is vital to productivity. This focus on productivity has quickly made J.R. Merritt's robust joysticks and operator chair systems the standard in port machinery nationwide due to their robust design, high quality, and field-proven reliability.
With an array of options and customization, J.R. Merritt chair systems provide crane operators with numerous adjustment capabilities that help optimize comfort and reduce stressful operating positions. Combined with our high-resolution joysticks, these complete control systems also help operators hit targets with less stress, higher efficiency and fewer corrections.
Single axis controllers, multi-axis joysticks, and complete operator chair systems are available that can be custom configured to a range of cab and control room operated port machinery, including ship-to-shore cranes, gantry cranes (RTG), straddle cranes, container cranes, and more.
