For a crime thriller story, I want a character to take control of a crane on a crane truck, by using the crane's remote control. But I was wondering, on a crane truck, where would one find the remote control to do this if anyone knows?

Thank you very much for any input on this! I really appreciate it!

go find 'highway thru hell' and scroll thru episodes when they use rotators and stuff. while remotes are being fit to just about everything, I would expect remotes on a gantry crane, not a mobile - heavy recovery vehicles like rotators have remotes - but they are just dual control stations on the body, not in the cab

All I have been on just had controls on the truck itself and in the bucket itself. So you could operate from either one.
