Standard and outstanding at once

Konecranes’ standard offering in industrial cranes provides the best return on investment. Rather than measuring returns solely on capacity and cost effectiveness, reliability and safety are also regarded as crucial factors in determining the overall returns that a new piece of lifting equipment provides. Konecranes manufactures cranes that have the ability to reliably lift diverse types of loads, to facilitate operation, to minimize cycle times and to help increase overall safety.

As every crane operation process is different, thus their specific needs. Konecranes can also help here by customizing cranes to meet individual application requirements — for brand new cranes or the modernization of existing ones.

Strong and safe at once

The steel structure of all cranes manufactured by Konecranes is strong and built to last. It is optimized in design to reduce stress on the building where it is placed. In addition, operators are provided with excellent control over their loads with the stepless speed inverter control along the runway.

For a better optimization of space, Konecranes has developed headroom and hook approaches that have been minimized, thus offering maximum space for other operations above and below the cranes, which consequently helps enhance safety and enables customers to better utilize the working space at their facilities.

Extensive service network

Through its global service network, Konecranes offers specialized maintenance and modernization services for all types of industrial cranes. These services can be applied to a single piece of equipment or across the entire operation, boosting the productivity and safety of industrial processes.
