Core of Lifting
in SMARTON

Our cranes are built around

key components that we
design and manufacture in-
house. Konecranes gears,
motors and controls are made
only for use in cranes and are
fully integrated into the core
of our crane technology. We
don’t just design the
components, but also the
interactions between them.
This approach gives us the
flexibility to find the right
solution for your lifting needs.

Ease of operation
and damage prevention

ACTIVE SWAY CONTROL

Limits load swing by controlling acceleration and
deceleration of the bridge and trolley. It also allows
faster load handling and more precise positioning, and
prevents damage to the load, crane, and surrounding
area.

HOOK CENTERING
Eliminates side pull during lifting by automatically
positioning the bridge and trolley directly over the
load which means less wear and tear on the crane’s
components, faster load cycle times, and ease of
operation.

SNAG PREVENTION
Stops all crane movement if the hook, sling, or load
accidentally gets caught on something. This reduces
the risk of hazardous situations while moving loads
and helps to prevent damage to the load, crane and
surrounding area.

productivity and maintenance activities

TRUCONNECT data can alert

you to problems with your
cranes before they give way
to critical issues that can
impair safety and
performance, helping you plan
and leaving less room for
surprises.
Analyzing TRUCONNECT data
can also help you develop an
operational baseline and
