Konecranes has commissioned four CMU 3.2t overhead cranes, each fitted with two synchronised 3.2t hoists.

The installation introduces technology aimed at improving safety, operational performance, and ergonomics for site operators.

The new crane system includes synchronised hoists designed to facilitate the lifting and handling of long or complex loads.

According to Konecranes, the Extended Speed Range (ESR) function enables the cranes to operate at overspeed, up to 10m/min, when lifting part loads, increasing productivity during operations.

Each crane is equipped with synthetic cables, which are intended to reduce weight and ease handling when compared to traditional materials.

Remote controls with integrated load displays aim to improve operator precision, while ground-level safety has been enhanced by the addition of Blue Spot safety lighting, providing additional visual cues for those working below.

The company said the combination of features aims to help operators achieve safer and more efficient lifting tasks.

Konecranes, headquartered in Finland, provides material handling solutions for a broad range of industries.

The group employs approximately 16,500 staff members and operates in over 50 countries.

In 2023, the company reported group sales of €3.9bn ($4.3bn). Konecranes shares are listed on Nasdaq Helsinki under the symbol KCR.

Earlier this month, Manna Glass Company finished installing a 5t Konecranes overhead crane at its new smart factory in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

The installation process involved lifting and positioning a crane structure weighing 15 t inside the production facility.
