Konecranes upgrades crane with high-tech features

DUBAI, June 2, 2015

Finnish company Konecranes, a global leader in the manufacture and service of cranes, has added more high-tech features to its heavy-duty overhead crane.

Konecranes Smarton is a built-up, heavy-duty overhead crane for demanding processes, assembly, and maintenance use. Smarton has a lifting capacity of up to 250 tonnes with a single trolley and up to 500 tonnes with two trolleys. The crane’s speed range is wide, and duty classes range from M3 to M8.

Konecranes has now further developed the Smarton crane. The revamped crane is designed to make lifting operations as safe, smooth, and efficient as possible. The latest updates have been geared specifically towards improving the user interface for crane operators, customer service crews, and management.

The new Smarton includes a tablet, which can be mounted to the radio controller or in the operator’s cabin. The tablet makes crane operation easier and more productive, as the operator receives crane- and process-related information directly to the tablet and is able to make adjustments to the crane. Optional camera views for safer and more effective load handling are also available.

For maintenance purposes, the Smarton tablet provides advanced troubleshooting and condition information of the crane controls. Maintenance personnel can access real-time information of the crane condition without the need to climb up to the crane service platform anymore, and wireless operation allows flexible use even during crane operation.

“The Smarton includes Smart Features and Truconnect Remote Services, available to improve safety and productivity of the customer’s lifting processes,” said Tero Jaakkola, product manager.

“Smarton now makes it even easier to tailor solutions for customers who want to get the benefits of the latest technology and have safety and a Total Cost of Ownership approach as part of their ‘DNA’. With flagship products like Smarton, we want to make sure customers who need advanced technology in their operations get it.” – TradeArabia News Service
