Service Duty Cranes

Service duty cranes handle many rugged material handling needs.

Many of these cranes are one step removed from the process—they are involved in maintaining the equipment required for the process to continue. These cranes are found in general manufacturing, power generation, automotive applications, and mining.

Service duty cranes by Konecranes are designed for a wide range of configurations and capacities up to 500 tons. With these resources, customers in many applications reduce downtime and increase productivity and profitability. Konecranes sets the standard in crane engineering technology and maintains the world's largest crane service network.

Modular Cranes with Standard Components

Konecranes has developed a unique modular crane concept, which is suitable for most service duty lifting applications. Modular crane technology enables the use of advanced production methods and establishment of strict quality control procedures. The benefits include serial production, such as optimal design, proven technology and reliability, and an excellent price/performance ratio.

 

Konecranes provides a complete range of modular cranes and components.

The SM Winch, a modular crane by Konecranes, features an open winch design. It is used in paper mills, powerstations, workshops, steel storages, waste-to-energy plants, automotive factories, shipbuilding and more.

Features:

  • Lifting capacity 500 tons
  • FEM duty classes M3 - M8
  • True vertical life
  • Wide range of accessories

Benefits:

  • Fewer parts and a smaller structure reduce trolley weight
  • Monitoring reduces downtime
  • Stepless speeds enhance safety
  • Fully-integrated with automation options
  • Serial production provides flexibility
  • Smaller runway reduces construction costs
  • Increase crane capacity by 10-20%
  • Double hoisting speed
