WE KNOW THE
PETROCHEMICAL
INDUSTRY
The coke pit is the production heart of a petrochemical
plant, a harsh environment full of moisture, corrosive
fumes and abrasive dust. Work is fast and continuous,
and downtime is crippling to production. Konecranes can
provide lifting equipment and service that can meet these
challenges safely and efficiently.
LOAD CONTROL TECHNOLOGIES REDUCE STRESS ON
PEOPLE AND MACHINES
Konecranes proprietary load control technologies are software
programs that operate in the background of our coker cranes,
making the operator’s job safer, easier, and less fatiguing.
These programs also reduce stress on controls and machinery.
• DynAGrab synchronizes the hoisting machineries, sharing
the bucket hold and close hoists properly between them,
reducing overloads and increasing rope and mechanical
component life.
• DynaTrack skew control reduces wheel and rail wear and
reduces stress on wheels, bearings, rails, rail attachments
and support structures.
• DynAPilot sway control reduces load sway, reducing
collisions with hoppers and pit walls, reducing
damage to buckets, hoppers and the pit.
In addition, Konecranes CMS Monitoring software provides
equipment status and alarms and can archive that information
for use in maintenance planning and trouble-shooting. And
TRUCONNECT® Remote Support provides 24/7 access to
a global network of crane experts and specialists, offering
problem solving and troubleshooting.

SMART DESIGN
FOR A TOUGH JOB
Our coker cranes include technologies that promote safe
and reliable operations, improve productivity and maximize
service life.
GRAB CONTROL - DYNAGRAB
The efficiency of your coker operation depends on your
operators’ ability to pack full buckets quickly. Our proprietary
grab control feature automates the sinking and filling process
and alerts the operator when it’s time to lift the load, resulting
in fewer trips, shorter load cycles and less operator training.
REGENERATIVE NETWORK BRAKING - DYNAREG A SERVICE-
Instead of dissipating heat through resistors, regenerative
braking returns runoff power to the energy grid of the crane. MINDED TEAM
