Modernizations

A modernization from Konecranes can provide increased crane performance; crane availability, reliability, and safety. It can also offer a cost savings in crane operation and maintenance. Modernizations from Konecranes can significantly increase the overall performance of your equipment, regardless of original manufacturer.

Konecranes uses state-of-the art components and advanced crane control methods to increase equipment functionality. Better crane positioning systems, improved crane automation, and the latest load handling equipment yield top productivity results from your valued equipment. Konecranes can replace worn-out components with a new generation of components or complete machinery and electric systems, saving production downtime. When cranes are easier to maintain, the business bottomline benefits from a reduction in emergency repairs, correct machinery classification, and spare parts availability.

Standardized Product Range

Konecranes offers modernization services that can significantly increase the reliability and performance of overhead lifting equipment by combining technology and expertise with modern equipment conditions.

A lineup of CXT hoists offers a standardized product range to replace more than 1,600 different commercial wire rope hoists. Retrofit load limiters can be installed to the hoist regardless of the original manufacturer, offering increased operator safety and modern monitoring and safety features. Other products that benefit equipment in need of modernization include radio control systems, power supply packages, crane control panels, and retrofit inverter controls.

Pre-engineered Modernizations

Pre-engineered modernizations are typically carried out on light-duty cranes and executed quickly by our service organization, such as hoist replacement or new motor controls of inverter type for long traveling.

Engineered Modernizations

Engineered modernizations are project type cases for heavy-duty cranes executed by our modernization teams. Engineered modernizations are "turn-key" projects, including the projecting, engineering, and production phases, and typically result in the installation and commissioning of the equipment.
