Konecranes X-series crane: Elevating lifting standards

The Konecranes X-series crane and S-series hoist usher in a new era of crane technology. The Konecranes X-series crane was designed with modularity, digital connectivity, and eco-efficiency in mind, and it can lift up to 20 tonnes.

Equipped with TRUCONNECT Remote Monitoring, the Konecranes X-series provides vital insights into crane usage and operation. TRUCONNECT data combined with inspection and maintenance information can help businesses make informed decisions on maintenance, safety concerns, productivity, training, and service and equipment investments, while smart, connected components, allowing seamless software upgrades “over the air”— a first in the standard crane industry.The crane’s stepless control and lightweight components ensure precision and sustainability, perfectly complementing the efficiency of the S-series hoist.

Konecranes S-series low headroom hoist is compact, clever, and future-ready

The Konecranes S-series low headroom hoist is the latest generation of hoisting technology, built to perform well in compact places while giving operators with increased safety, control, and efficiency. This hoist complements the X-series crane by providing precise and efficient operations.

With its synthetic rope, the hoist provides a safer, more durable alternative to standard steel wire ropes, lowering maintenance costs while increasing operating safety. Smart features such as Hook Centring, Follow Me, and Snag Prevention improve precision and reduce downtime, making each lift more efficient and reliable. The integration of ergonomic controls and real-time data displays empowers operators by ensuring accuracy and convenience of use.

Its built-in safety features, including a warning light and a DIN hook with improved grip technology, prioritise employee safety while increasing overall workplace productivity. Sustainability is also key to its design, with decreased reeving wear and energy-efficient components contributing to a smaller environmental footprint.
