Not just lifting things, but entire businesses
Safety. Reliability. Productivity.
All prime concerns for WTE operators using bucket cranes to move waste. Add minimal time available for weekly maintenance and infrequent outages for major repairs, and you have a real challenge for operators who need to keep their lifting equipment running.
Konecranes’ WTE crane technology is designed to meet this challenge head-on.
Important components like hoisting trolleys, drives and buckets are engineered to reduce maintenance requirements. More than 10 years ago Konecranes introduced an integrated rope / cable drum. The vertical power cable for the bucket is wound onto the rope drum and is driven by the hoisting machinery. With this unique solution savings in maintenance costs are substantial.
Our proprietary DynA Load Control Technologies manage critical crane functions to reduce structural stress, increase efficiency and prolong equipment life. DynAPilot load sway control minimizes load sway from bridge and trolley motions, reducing collisions between the bucket and the pit walls or hopper and preventing equipment damage. Sway control increases operator
confidence, reduces training time and allows operation of the crane to its full potential.
Automation in waste handling reduces operator fatigue and decreases the risk of crane failure. It also helps in load positioning and collision avoidance. Unmanned, fully automated cranes can reduce direct operational costs. The most advanced plant layouts allow crane operation from a central control room.
This is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to cutting-edge design features that ensure safety, reliability and productivity. There is a lot to know about Konecranes WTE crane technology.
