Few companies within the lifting industry can match our R&D resources.
Konecranes' thoroughly modern product range reflects the benefits of an innovative culture within the organization. And, no other company has the benefit of the world's largest maintenance database as a source of direct performance feedback on our own and on our competitors' products.
Our R&D program focuses on advanced crane technologies with superior product features and on cost-effective manufacturing. We employ a modular approach in component and crane production. The result is a globally uniform product offering which enables swift deployment of resources to meet customer needs.
Our research and development is market-driven. We observe and analyze the demands in the material handling market. At the same time, we study the possibilities for new technology to improve our way of doing business. With this approach, we have been able to continuously launch new products that provide genuine benefits for our customers.
Our Autostore vacuum lifter has revolutionized the economics of product storage for the paper industry, and our automated coil-handling system developed for the steel industry reduces cooling time for steel coils from days to just hours. Other recent achievements include development of the world's most modern compact Electric Wire Rope Hoist and a complete series of motor controls from 0.3 to 800 kW power rating. For the Harbor Industry we have recently developed a unique Rubber Tired Gantry (RTG) Crane, a Grab Unloader and an onboard shipboard gantry crane known as the Konecranes Munckloader. Our latest R&D achievement is the all-new Container Handling Crane (Ship-to-Shore) design, The BoxHunter.
