Precision and performance in a modern modular crane

Konecranes SM craneThe Konecranes SM crane is strength and safety built into a small package, a compact, high-capacity crane for accuracy in lifting up to 1,000 tons. Ideal when you need to move large and heavy loads in production spaces that are sometimes cramped or hard to access, it’s especially good for valuable or sensitive equipment that requires the utmost care.

Designed specially for the mechanical stresses of lifting—the gears, motors and controls are all made in-house, and these core components work together seamlessly for smooth crane movement and control. A unique combination of lifting power and smart design offers versatility in applications across all kinds of industrial settings.

The Konecranes SM open winch crane has many standard features:

•    Totally enclosed hoist gearing for safety, reliability and no maintenance required
•    Minimized internal stress and improved component lifetime, due to unique trolley frame construction
•    Trolleys have four- or six-wheel bogie system and true vertical lift for even load distribution along girders
•    Extremely compact trolley provides minimized approach dimensions and headroom, reducing structural requirements of rails, runway beams, columns and building height
•    Auxiliary hoist allows faster movement of lighter loads
•    Easy access to each key components for simplified maintenance procedures
•    Compact size allows lifting in confined production spaces

Lifting Southeast Asia's biggest hydropower turbines with the environment in mind

  • At Xayaburi Hydro Power Plant (HPP), in Laos, two 380/80-ton SM cranes are used to lift tailor-made turbine components weighing hundreds of tons and position them in the powerhouse, which is environmentally harmonious by design to avoid harm to fish in the Mekong River, home to over a thousand fish species.
  • Turbine crane

“We chose Konecranes for the challenging task of lifting and accurately positioning turbines, generators and components because they have a world class reputation for safety and reliability and Xayaburi is one of the biggest hydro power projects."

Harald Taubenschmid, Project Manager – Xayaburi HPP, Andritz Hydro
