Konecranes launches Smarton

Konecranes has introduced Smarton crane, which is made of 98 per cent recyclable material. The crane’s braking energy, when fed back into the power grid, reduces energy consumption and cuts energy costs by up to one third. Its compact size enables new industrial spaces to be smaller, subsequently reducing construction costs and heating expenses. Smarton crane can lift loads ranging from 30 tonne to over 500 tonne. It is used in industrial sectors like steel handling and warehousing, automotive, general manufacturing, power, workshops, automatic storage systems and mining. Contact: Konecranes.
