From heavy Electrical Overhead Traveling Cranes (EOT) for die-handling, to small wall-mounted jib cranes equipped with chain hoist for sub-assembly workstations, Konecranes Americas has provided overhead cranes for most of the major automobile manufacturers in the United States, as well as many manufacturers worldwide.
The most stringent requirements in any automobile manufacturing plant are for die handling cranes. Our design parameters take into account the heavy loads, short cycles, fast speeds, and high reliability needed for the job. Solutions developed by Konecranes reduce the overall building costs with space-saving designs that facilitate light construction loading. Also, our solution for coil handling applications include Extended Speed Range (ESR) on hoist motion, allowing a much shorter cycle time than with traditional speed controls.
The maintenance service and spare part availability are very important for continuous operation. To ensure abiding satisfaction, Konecranes backs its products with a worldwide service organization. A service contract with Konecranes enables automotive manufacturers to focus on building quality products while counting on 100% availability and reliability of their overhead cranes.
