Overhead crane supports pallet handling at ISOKON in Slovenia

ISOKON is a Slovenian manufacturer specializing in technical plastics for industrial applications. At its production facility, efficient material handling plays an important role in keeping production running smoothly.

ISOKON has worked with Konecranes since 2023, when a crane system was integrated into a robotic production line. Following the successful implementation of that project, ISOKON selected Konecranes again to supply lifting equipment for a new production line where pallets with boards need to be transferred frequently and positioned accurately.

Defining the right crane solution

The new production line required repeated transfer and positioning of pallets throughout the production process. The objective was to simplify material handling, improve positioning accuracy and reduce the physical workload for operators.

Building on the earlier cooperation, Konecranes worked closely with ISOKON to define a crane solution that met the application's requirements.

Konecranes supplied a 3.2 tonne double girder overhead crane equipped with target positioning and a two-hook hoist. The solution provides stable load handling and accurate pallet positioning, supporting smooth and efficient handling throughout the production process.

The crane is used for the semi-automatic transfer of pallets with boards and has become an integral part of daily production. Inverter-controlled lifting and smooth crane movements provide operators with precise control and ease of operation.

“Target positioning helps speed up the cycles in our process. Together with smooth movements, it creates a very good overall experience when using the crane.” says Marko Rožič, Head of Production KOTERM & ISOTRACK, ISOKON

 

 The customer needed a solution that could combine accurate positioning with stable load handling throughout repeated lifting cycles. By combining target positioning with a two-hook hoist, we were able to simplify pallet handling while improving consistency and reducing the physical effort required from operators.” says Amadej Skornik, Sales Team Leader, Konecranes, Slovenia.

Practical benefits in everyday work

Since installation, the overhead crane has become an important part of ISOKON's daily production. Stable load handling and accurate positioning make pallet transfers easier, safer and more efficient while helping reduce physical strain for operators.
 

The solution contributes to:

  • Safer pallet handling
  • Reduced physical strain for operators
  • Faster, more consistent handling cycles
  • Reliable support for daily production

“The crane is used multiple times per day, every day, and it is an important part of our process. Our goal was to ease the workload for employees, and this crane successfully achieved that.” says Marko Rožič, Head of Production, KOTERM & ISOTRACK, ISOKON

We would recommend Konecranes and their equipment to others in our industry,”Marko Rožič, Head of Production, ISOKON
