A safe crane is the product of a good design, regular maintenance and safe use.

• Reduced cycle times with semi and fully automated functions
• Precise and fast load handling with travelling speeds upto 150 m/min
• Heavy-duty use with special trolley, end carriages, hook block.
• Designed to maximize the working cycles per hour
• Reduced deflection & vibration with stiff box-type steel structure
• Sway Control and Slack Rope Prevention available as an add on feature helps improves work area safety and productivity
• PLC controls and monitors the crane for speed and accuracy
• Longer life and more return on investment as Tailored crane can run upto 8 million working cycles
• Simplified and minimized maintenance

We build reliability, safety, and ease of maintenance into all of our cranes

• Motors have H class insulation, anti-condensation heaters and thermal protection sensors
• Heavy-duty auxiliary hook, specially designed for ladle pouring and opening scrap bucket bottoms
• Wireless communication with factory control system and crane management system (CMS) for remote service
• Motion limiters & automation of repetitive movements.
• Redundancy in all critical systems
• Smart features and advanced crane control systems
• Heat shielding for control locations, critical electrical devices, and cables
• Electrical room is pressurized and air-conditioned
• Regenerative braking

By choosing Konecranes, you can apply our extensive knowledge to improve your productivity and lift not only your steel, but your entire business as well.

• More efficient and safe operations with Redundancy in all critical systems
• Long life as motors have H class insulation, anti-condensation heaters and thermal protection sensors.
• Minimized error and improved efficiency with motion limiters & automation of repetitive movements.
• The electrical room is pressurized and air-conditioned for reliable operation in harsh environmental conditions. Backup A/C units are included for continued, reliable A/C operation even if a unit is down.
• The rope reeving system has redundancy to safeguard against load drop if a rope breaks.
• Traversing machinery is divided into two groups for redundancy; in an emergency, the crane can be driven with half of the motors.
• The auxiliary hook is heavy-duty and specially designed for ladle pouring and opening scrap bucket bottoms. As an optional feature, it can also be moved horizontally.
• The back-up brake on the rope drum is designed to prevent load drop if a component in the hoisting machinery breaks
• Energy savings due to regenerative braking.
• Simplified and minimized maintenance costs.
• Reliable operation in harsh environmental conditions.
• Remote service capability for fast problem solving and advance information for maintenance planning.

Everything we do is targeted at one goal: improving the performance of our customers’ businesses

• Traveling speeds up to 150 m/min
• Up to 8 million duty cycles
• Wide range of lifting attachments for different types of materials handling
• WMS or CMS for material flow
• Single or multi-trolley
• Manual, semi- and fully automated functions
• Programmable logic controller (PLC) to control & monitor the crane
• Crane can be controlled with a radio remote controller or in a cabin
• Smart Features

One of our primary objectives is to reduce the amount of equipment in your process by developing more efficient and less costly ways of using your equipment

• Precise and fast load handling with travelling speeds up to 150 m/min.
• Longer life and more return on investment as tailored crane can run up to 8 million working cycles.
• Wide range of lifting devices can be attached to the hooks: magnets, coil grabs, hydraulic tongs and many others.
• When connected with WMS or CMS, it can help increase productivity and reduce manual errors.
• Reduced cycle times with semi- and fully automated functions.
• Continuous availability of the systems 24 hours per day
• Simplified and minimized maintenance costs.
• Smart Features help reduce wear and unplanned maintenance, extend lifetime
