A half-tipped body, a waiting site, and the radio control stays silent: exactly for this moment a clear plan pays off. With the right steps you lose as little time as possible.
Immediate measures on site
First insert fresh batteries, that fixes a large share of spontaneous failures. Then test from a short distance with a clear view of the vehicle. If neither helps, remove the batteries for a minute and try again after the restart.
The emergency control on the body
Many Meiller bodies have an emergency control directly on the vehicle that lets you lower the body in a controlled way. How it works is described in the manual of your body. That way you bring the vehicle into a safe state and can continue the journey.

Frequently asked questions
What belongs in the cab as a precaution?
A set of fresh spare batteries, stored dry, covers the most common cause of failure. Anyone running several vehicles ideally keeps a paired spare remote on hand.
May I keep driving with the body raised?
No, that is dangerous and not permitted. Lower the body via the emergency control before driving on. The instructions of your body manual always take priority.
Does ControlRepair24 also help at short notice?
Yes. Through the exchange system you receive a tested device within one to three business days after payment. By phone we clarify the matching version beforehand.
