GESAR’s Heavy Equipment Remote Control Retrofit Systems enable excavators, skid steers and other industrial and heavy-duty machinery to be converted into teleoperated unmanned ground vehicles. Designed as a practical retrofit solution, the technology allows organizations to add remote operation capabilities to existing equipment without investing in entirely new platforms.
The system provides operators with the ability to safely control machinery from a remote location while maintaining the functionality and capabilities of the original vehicle. By transforming conventional equipment into teleoperated assets, organizations can continue leveraging established fleets while expanding operational capabilities in hazardous, remote and complex environments.
GESAR’s retrofit technology is designed to enhance both safety and productivity by removing personnel from potentially dangerous operating areas while maintaining full teleoperation and machine control. The solution also enables equipment to be utilized in locations where direct human access may be difficult, inefficient or unsafe, helping operators maintain continuity of operations while reducing risk.
Because the systems can be integrated into existing vehicles and machinery, organizations can upgrade proven equipment rather than purchasing new unmanned platforms or replacing entire fleets. This approach provides a cost-effective pathway to adopting unmanned ground vehicle capabilities while preserving existing investments in equipment and operator training.
GESAR’s remote control retrofit systems are available for a wide variety of machinery and equipment, including:
- Skid steers and compact loaders
- Excavators and earthmoving equipment
- Demolition machinery
- Agricultural machinery and field equipment
- Industrial inspection and non-destructive testing (NDT) support equipment
- Specialized heavy equipment used in hazardous environments
