Konecranes showcased its latest product innovations at the bauma CONEXPO INDIA exhibition in New Delhi, marking a new era in industrial lifting. The event saw the launch of the Konecranes X-series crane for India and Bangladesh, paired with the latest S-series low headroom hoist, during a ceremony inaugurated by Tausif Kagad, Managing Director and Vice President of Konecranes, South Asia.
Konecranes X-series crane: Elevating lifting standards
The Konecranes X-series crane, with the S-series hoist, introduces a new era of crane technology. Designed with a focus on modularity, digital connectivity, and eco-efficiency, the Konecranes X-series crane offers lifting capacities up to 20 tons.
Equipped with TRUCONNECT remote monitoring, the Konecranes X-series provides vital insights into crane usage and operation. TRUCONNECT data combined with inspection and maintenance information can help businesses make informed decisions on maintenance, safety concerns, productivity, training, and service and equipment investments, while smart, connected components, allowing seamless software upgrades ‘over the air’— a first in the standard crane industry. The crane’s stepless control and lightweight components ensure precision and sustainability, perfectly complementing the efficiency of the S-series hoist.
Konecranes S-series low headroom hoist: Compact, intelligent, and future-ready
The Konecranes S-series low headroom hoist represents the next generation of hoisting technology, designed to excel in tight spaces while providing operators with enhanced safety, control, and efficiency. This hoist perfectly complements the X-series crane in delivering precise and efficient operations.
With its synthetic rope, the hoist offers a safer, more durable alternative to traditional steel wire ropes, significantly reducing maintenance while boosting operational safety. Integrated smart features like Hook Centering, Follow Me, and Snag Prevention enhance precision and minimize downtime, making every lift more efficient and reliable. The addition of ergonomic controls with real-time data displays empowers operators, ensuring both accuracy and ease of use.
Its built-in safety features, such as a warning light and DIN hook with advanced grip technology, prioritize the well-being of personnel while enhancing overall workplace productivity. Sustainability is also at the heart of its design, with reduced reeving wear and energy-efficient components contributing to a lower environmental footprint.
A vision for sustainable innovation
“With the Konecanes X-series crane and S-series low headroom hoist, we are setting new benchmarks in industrial lifting,” said Tausif Kagad. “These innovations embody our commitment to delivering smart, sustainable, and customer-focused solutions that empower industries and drive progress.”
A strong focus on customers and commitment to business growth and continuous improvement make Konecranes a material handling industry leader.
