Automotive Industry

From heavy EOT cranes for die-handling to small wall-mounted jib cranes equipped with chain hoist for sub-assembly workstations, Konecranes has provided overhead cranes for most of the major automobile manufacturers in the United States and worldwide.

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 the 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.

The maintenance service and spare part availability are very important for a continuous process. Konecranes backs its products with a worldwide service organization. A service contract with Konecranes enables automotive manufacturers to focus on building quality products while counting on 100% availability of their overhead cranes.
