Coil handling cranes for the automotive industry

We know coil handling

  • A coil handling crane delivers steel coils for unreeling and blank cutting. Once the steel is pre-cut to the right size—these pieces, or blanks—are pressed in a stamping machine to form the parts of a car body, such as the hood, doors, trunk, roof, and so on. Pressing involves a sequence of three to five consecutive stamping operations with forces ranging from 1,000 – 25,000 kN to produce the part.

    Our coil handling cranes are designed to travel long distances at fast speed to keep work cycles short for the demanding production schedules of the automotive industry. Konecranes M-series or CXT cranes can provide safer and easier coil handling and can be customized for your specific requirements.

New cranes bring efficiency gains

Konecranes worked diligently with us to ensure that we achieved maximum clearance since we occasionally have large oilfield equipment in the facility. The new cranes save our mechanics two hours a day, 10 hours a week, greatly improving their efficiency.
