Motors

A crane using a Konecranes motor consumes less energy than a typical commercial electric motor. This cuts your costs and shrinks your carbon footprint while helping improve productivity.

What’s the secret?

• A thinner rotor reduces the moment of inertia, so the motor requires less torque, less current, and less energy in a typical duty cycle.
• Konecranes has made and sold inverter duty motors for decades, and all of that experience goes into the design and manufacture of the latest crane duty drives.
• Our motors are properly sized for crane applications. The lower current requirement allows a more compact inverter to be used, giving better approach dimensions.
• The right protection from dust, water and heat keeps personnel safe and Konecranes equipment functioning in any hazardous work environment.
• We designed our motors ourselves, so we know the best way to tailor them to the precise specifications of any specialized lifting task.
