The Meiller ISAR 3 is a radio remote control used to wirelessly operate the tipping function of Meiller bodies on trucks. This page compactly explains what the device does, how it is built and why it matters so much for operations.
Purpose and operating principle
The ISAR 3 is the handheld transmitter of a radio system. It sends coded commands to a receiver unit on the vehicle, which then actuates the hydraulics of the tipping body. The operator raises and lowers the body from a safe distance, with a clear view of load and surroundings, entirely without cables.
Design of the device
Inside the rugged plastic housing, a board with radio module, a membrane keypad or joystick, the antenna and the battery compartment work together. The device exists in different versions that differ in radio frequency and configuration. The type plate on the back reveals which variant you have.
Why the device matters so much
If the ISAR 3 fails, the body can no longer be tipped normally and the vehicle effectively stands still. That is why it pays to know the typical faults such as corrosion, button wear or drop damage, and that is why our exchange system exists: tested replacements for 450 euros net, delivered in one to three business days, with a twelve-month warranty.
Frequently asked questions
Is the ISAR 3 fitted to every tipper?
No, it belongs to the Meiller tipper body environment. Other body manufacturers use their own radio systems. The type plate of the remote shows whether your system uses an ISAR 3.
What distinguishes the ISAR 3 from a cable control?
The radio link. The operator is not tied to the vehicle, stands outside the danger zone and keeps the load and surroundings in view.
