Konecranes America Inc. continues to build a strong presence as a supplier of choice to the American automotive industry.
From heavy EOT cranes for die-handling to small wall-mounted jib cranes equipped with chain hoists for sub-assembly workstations, Konecranes has provided overhead cranes for most of the major automobile manufacturers in the United States and worldwide, with an emphasis on state-of-the art, total solutions. Advanced automation features and remote diagnostic systems are exactly what today’s automotive manufacturers are looking for to maximize productivity, including automated coil storage and retrieval, automated die handling, and automated scrap bale handling.
The most stringent requirements in any automobile manufacturing plant are for die handling cranes. Our design parameters take into account the heavy loads, short cycles, fast speeds and high reliability needed for the job. Konecranes' solutions reduce overall building costs with space-saving designs that facilitate light construction loading. Also, Konecranes' solution for coil handling applications include Extended Speed Range (ESR) on hoist motion, allowing a much shorter cycle time than with traditional speed controls.
Konecranes America’s philosophy of combining highly sophisticated overhead lifting solutions with preventive crane maintenance services is a significant added value. This allows customers to concentrate on their core business of building cars while ensuring that their material handling processes run smoothly. Konecranes America backs its products with a worldwide service organization and parts availability. A service contract enables automotive manufacturers to focus on building quality products while counting on 100% availability of their overhead cranes.
