Strength, power and reliability

Auxiliary cranes are used in paper manufacturing plants to support raw material handling and help with maintenance tasks. Basically, it's a spare crane that can replace the main lifting equipment in case of unexpected downtime, or it can assist in repairs or service, helping minimize any delays to production.

A Konecranes auxiliary crane is a compact, robust and general-purpose lifting machine designed for an industrial operating environment. Depending on your facility, two models are particularly suitable for this purpose. A jib crane with a Konecranes C-series hoist is an versatile piece of equipment that works well with overhead cranes on production lines and keeps machining cells and warehouses running. The Konecranes S-series crane gives you safe, reliable lifting to help keep production running.
