Considering crane modernisation?

Posted on Friday 1 January 2010

Global lifting equipment manufacturer Konecranes is reporting a continued rise in the popularity of crane modernisation programmes and across an increasing number of industry sectors

In addition to this in part being driven by continued pressure on capital expenditure, both small and blue chip corporates are realising the benefits of tapping into a process that can prove to be just as an effective tool in providing the latest productivity, technology and safety standard advances, but at a fraction of the cost.
 
Konecranes’ Derek Hicklin says: “Whilst most production, manufacturing and operational managers/directors would probably prefer to see their operation’s continue to invest in new technology, this is not always the best course of action, and suppliers to the lifting business such as Konecranes has a duty of care to help present the best options dependent upon a whole host of criteria.”

 

Crane modernisation schemes broadly fall into pre-engineered upgrades and engineered crane modernisations. Within the former process, Konecranes offers upgrades and smaller improvements that can be applied to equipment conveniently at a customer’s site. Engineered modernisations are projects for overhead cranes and port cranes. Here experts in crane electrics, mechanics, and automation combine to deliver a complete and often turnkey solution.
