Core of Lifting

Crane performance redefined

Our cranes are built around the Core of Lifting. This is the package of key components that we design and manufacture in-house: the Konecranes gears, motors and controls. They work in unison, as the core of the crane. We don't just design these components; we design the interaction between them specifically for crane use and lifting motions.

Gears

Our gearboxes are a fully-integrated core component consisting of gears, shafts, bearings and housing. Every gearbox that we produce has been designed specifically for crane applications.
