return-to-zero control/ler


Explanation:
I believe it means a device (lever or joystick controller) that controls the movement of the crane but which stops the movement when no pressure is applied to the lever or joystick by the operator.

"Joystick Control
Joystick controllers are mainly used for control of movement on one or two axes via an intermediary contactor, e.g. for movements of translation/direction or raise/lower on equipment such as cranes. They generally support 2 to 8 directions and can comprise several contacts per direction, with or without return to zero position.

Certain types of joystick controller can be fitted with a 'dead man's' contact in the operating lever."
