MODERNIZATIONS

WHY MODERNIZE? CRANE RELIABILITY STUDY MODERNIZATIONS HOIST, TROLLEY AND CRANE CONTROLS CONTACT

WHY MODERNIZE?• Prolong the economic service life of

your crane• Critical components are reaching the

end of their economic service life• Your production demands are increasing• Your application has changed• Statutory requirements have changed• Costs and time spent maintaining your

aged crane are rising• You are considering replacing your crane

ARE YOUR CRANES FIT FOR THE FUTURE?If you’re considering whether a modernization is a valid option, you need a tool to help make decisions about the future use of your cranes. A Crane Reliability Study is an engineering assessment that evaluates the current condition of your crane and provides a theoretical estimate of its remaining design life and recommendations for next steps.

ALL CRANES HAVE A FINITE SERVICE LIFE

WHY MODERNIZE? CRANE RELIABILITY STUDY MODERNIZATIONS HOIST, TROLLEY AND CRANE CONTROLS CONTACT

ALL CRANES HAVE A FINITE SERVICE LIFEYou may choose to perform a Crane Reliability Study when you're not sure if your cranes are capable of meeting growing production demands, or if you’re using your crane for purposes other than how they were originally classified. If you have safety issues or aren’t sure if it’s time to modernize, a CRS can give you the information you need.

CRS PROCESS

WHY MODERNIZE? CRANE RELIABILITY STUDY MODERNIZATIONS HOIST, TROLLEY AND CRANE CONTROLS CONTACT

CRS PROCESS• A team of Konecranes specialists observes the

production and operating environment of your crane• The overall condition of your crane structures and

components is evaluated in detail with a focus on safety, productivity, reliability, usability and remaining design life

• Operators and maintenance personnel are

interviewed and all pertinent documentation is reviewed

• The team provides a detailed report and further consultation with advice on maintenance, modernizations and future investments

TRANSFORM YOUR EXISTING CRANEModernizations can provide a complete transformation of your existing crane as an alternative to replacing it. Modernizations can also give you an opportunity to add current technologies. Common modernizations include the replacement of hoists, trolleys, operator cabs and controls to achieve increased capacity, speed, duty and load control.

HOIST, TROLLEY AND CRANE UPGRADESLet Konecranes evaluate your equipment and recommend which modernization upgrade is right for you.

GIRDERS

GIRDERS MODIFICATIONS AND REINFORCEMENTS

Konecranes can increase or decrease the length of the girder span, which may be required during building expansions or when fitting a used crane into an existing building. Additionally, girders may need to be repaired or reinforced, particularly when the lifted capacity is being uprated.

UNITON TROLLEY

WHY MODERNIZE? CRANE RELIABILITY STUDY MODERNIZATIONS HOIST, TROLLEY AND CRANE CONTROLS CONTACT

UNITON TROLLEYThe UNITON™ trolley is available with multiple configurations and a wide range of hoisting speeds, load control features, and load and duty class options. With a lifting capacity of up to 160 tons on a single trolley (320 tons with two trolleys), UNITON can be built to meet project-specific requirements in almost any application.

SMT TROLLEY

SMT TROLLEYThe SMARTON® trolley is built for heavy process industries. The motor, gearbox and control unit are designed and manufactured in-house, which allows for excellent lifting performance and long life. The flange-mounted motors have integrated brakes, which support the proper alignment of the machinery.

BRIDGE BUMPERS

PLATFORMSIncrease safety by adding or refurbishing walkways and handrails.

END TRUCKS AND WHEEL ASSEMBLIES

WHY MODERNIZE? CRANE RELIABILITY STUDY MODERNIZATIONS HOIST, TROLLEY AND CRANE CONTROLS CONTACT

END TRUCKS AND WHEEL ASSEMBLIESAnti-friction bearings help meet increased productivity demands. Konecranes high-capacity end trucks are designed to extend wheel life and improve crane tracking.

HOSIT GEAR CASE

WHY MODERNIZE? CRANE RELIABILITY STUDY MODERNIZATIONS HOIST, TROLLEY AND CRANE CONTROLS CONTACT

HOIST GEAR CASEYour gear case can be overhauled or entirely replaced to suit its operating environment or to uprate the lifting capacity, if needed. Critical components such as shafts, bearings and gears can be precision machined and heat-treated for long life.

SELF-ADJUSTING, SELF-ALIGNING BRAKES

WHY MODERNIZE? CRANE RELIABILITY STUDY MODERNIZATIONS HOIST, TROLLEY AND CRANE CONTROLS CONTACT

SELF-ADJUSTING, SELF-ALIGNING BRAKESReduce maintenance by automatically compensating for lining wear. DC AISE spring set, electric release or AC impulse-actuated shoe brakes are available.

BRIDGE BRAKES

WHY MODERNIZE? CRANE RELIABILITY STUDY MODERNIZATIONS HOIST, TROLLEY AND CRANE CONTROLS CONTACT

BRIDGE BRAKESWhere bridge brakes are used, typically on DC powered cranes, these brakes can be arranged for cab or floor operation. Components to refurbish or replace include electric and hydraulic shoes, DC spring sets, discs and release mechanisms.

BOTTOM BLOCKS

BRIDGE DRIVESDrives can be upgraded with heavy-duty foot mounted gearboxes. Shaft mounted motor reducers can also be applied.

POWER SUPPLY

WHY MODERNIZE? CRANE RELIABILITY STUDY MODERNIZATIONS HOIST, TROLLEY AND CRANE CONTROLS CONTACT

POWER SUPPLYFestoon systems increase safety by replacing wear-prone open conductors and collectors. Energy Chain is an alternative that protects the power and control cables from mechanical wear and reduces the risk of external damage.

RADIO CONTROL

WHY MODERNIZE? CRANE RELIABILITY STUDY MODERNIZATIONS HOIST, TROLLEY AND CRANE CONTROLS CONTACT

RADIO CONTROLFloor operated controls allow the operator to have a good view of the load on the hook and to manually assist it, if necessary. These controls can be equipped with real-time load data.

UPPER LIMIT SWITCHES

WHY MODERNIZE? CRANE RELIABILITY STUDY MODERNIZATIONS HOIST, TROLLEY AND CRANE CONTROLS CONTACT

UPPER LIMIT SWITCHESProvide upper-limit protection to prevent the bottom block from damaging the drum and cable.

BRAKING

WHY MODERNIZE? CRANE RELIABILITY STUDY MODERNIZATIONS HOIST, TROLLEY AND CRANE CONTROLS CONTACT

BRAKINGWith regenerative braking, power is sent back to the power grid during every downward or decelerated motion, instead of being dissipated by resistors. With more energy returned to the grid, less energy needs to be produced—leading to increased cost-savings.

SMART FEATURES

WHY MODERNIZE? CRANE RELIABILITY STUDY MODERNIZATIONS HOIST, TROLLEY AND CRANE CONTROLS CONTACT
