Konecranes 50-Ton Cranes

With 50-ton crane class, Konecranes has achieved market leadership. Konecranes provides a versatile selection of innovative, reliable and efficient lifting solutions. Konecranes equipment is used all around the world in a full-spectrum of material-handling environments. These environments include:

  • Mining
  • Bulk terminals
  • Process applications
  • Steel and paper processing
  • Ship-to-shore
  • Manufacturing
  • And much more.

Everything from small, workstation hoists all the way to 50-ton cranes, and beyond, Konecranes engineers industrial cranes with a far-reaching scope of capabilities for many various manufacturing applications. Konecranes lifting equipment has earned their reputation for around-the-clock process applications and exceptional reliability.

Konecranes equipment has met the challenge of severe duty applications with exceptional levels of productivity, reliability and efficiency. These challenges include:

  • Demanding duty cycles
  • Hazardous environments
  • High speeds
  • And more

In their 50-ton cranes and in other weight classes, Konecranes has developed industry-leading technologies which decrease operations and maintenance costs and increases safety and efficiency while lowering energy consumption.

Innovate with Konecranes

SMARTON® is one of Konecranes’ most impressive innovations, available in 10-ton to 500-ton capacities.  This evolutionary next-gen technology impressively features a 2-transmitter intelligent radio control, called Human Interface to Machine (HIM) technology. This technology automatically relays to the operator critical information as well as allows technicians on the ground to troubleshoot the equipment. HIM technology also relays:

  • Upcoming maintenance needs
  • Approaching work limits
  • Overloads
  • Total loads
  • Load limits
  • 3D positioning

Non-hydraulic systems are available for intermodal and rail markets. These systems reduce maintenance costs and downtime for high-capacity container handling applications. Many of these machines are in the 40-ton to 50-ton crane class and are engineered with GPS-based technologies and sway prevention, which work to provide accurate container positioning and smooth operation.

Konecranes’ patented CXT wire rope hoists come in a double girder, top running configuration and feature capacities of up to 80 tons. CXT technology is lightweight and compact which works to maximize the use of building space. To meet a vast range of applications, these hoists can be specially configured.

For cranes in a variety of applications, including 50-ton class, the Spacemaker SM Winch helps reduce building costs. This is through its specially-engineered space-saving design.

Finally, Konecranes’ DynALift Hoist Synchronization works to stabilize long loads lifting with up to 4 hoists. For operators looking to handle loads with and uneven weight distribution, this hoist is an excellent solution.
