Konecranes yard cranes are smartly designed. It begins with how the core lifting components (motors, gear- boxes, control systems) are designed and manufactured in-house. It continues in the intelligent design of the steel structure, which maximizes the crane’s energy efficiency over its lifetime of use.
Active Load Control
Konecranes’ patented Active Load Control (ALC) system is an integrated sway prevention and horizontal fine positioning system. ALC allows optimum cycle times to be reached in all operating conditions - even with an inexperienced driver.
Safety and operator comfort
Safety and operator comfort/alertness are closely related. Understanding this, we put a lot of thought into cabin design. Our cabins provide a very stable and smooth drive experience. Controls and information displays are ergonomically arranged so the operator can precisely control his crane.
“Ship traffic has increased dramatically in the space of a few months. With its 16-meter draft 4-kilometer quay wall and Konecranes automated container handling technology, the port can easily accommodate the world’s largest container ships.”
