Paper Industry

Konecranes provides a comprehensive understanding of the papermaking process and an impressive resume of worldwide project experience to meet the demands of the paper industry. More than 150 paper mills worldwide use Konecranes SM Spacemaker cranes for installation, maintenance and jumbo reel handling with the highest reliability and load positioning accuracy.

Konecranes offers a wide range of solutions for paper mills, from low capacity maintenance cranes to a sophisticated automated system for paper reel storage and retrieval that can more than double storage capacity in available space. We design load handling equipment for every task, including rotating spreader beams, log grabs and paper reel vacuum lifters.

Konecranes maintenance service network is the largest in the world and provides a full range of services. We provide paper mill cranes with a Safe Working Monitor (SWM) which collects data from the crane operations. This enables us to program required maintenance stops according to actual crane use and tailor maintenance programs to production.
