A limit switch is a critical component of overhead crane safety. Limit switches are electromechanical devices that regulate everything from household appliances to industrial machinery. For an overhead crane, they provide solid, established points of reference for maintaining efficiency, reliability and safety standards.

Improved crane safety, greater productivity, more flexibility: radio controls for cranes offer crane operators all of these benefits and more across a range of applications. Not only can radio controls free operators from the confines of a cab, but from crane pendant control cables as well.
Konecranes delivery to the plant:
Two Gantry Cranes,
One (1) pulpit chair,
One (1) Remote Operator Station (ROS),
One (1) Main User Interface (MUI) which interfaces with both cranes,
Two (2) sets of electrical control panels (one for each crane), Three (3) orange peel grapples as well as semi and full 3-shift automation capabilities.
Energy and heating plant Riikinvoima in Leppävirta, Finland, chose to automate the entire material flow with Konecranes solutions. The plant’s design calls for two cranes over the waste reception hall to load waste into a shredder. Then, the cranes feed the processed material into the boiler. Either of the cranes can complete the process alone, or work in tandem with the other crane.
