Initially available in the EMEA region, with global availability expected by 2026, the D-series offers lifting capacities from 80 kg to 5,000 kg across seven frame sizes.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Konecranes D-series reduces downtime with its modular design and low-maintenance components, enabling proactive maintenance that saves time and lowers costs,\u201d explained Klaus M\u00f6llmann, senior manager, LLE Product Sales and Offer Support, EMEA.<\/p>\n

\u201cDesigned for seamless integration with Konecranes equipment, including KBK workstation lifting systems, jib cranes and overhead cranes, it provides a flexible and efficient solution for a wide range of industrial applications.\u201d<\/p>\n

Key features of the D-series include advanced safety systems such as a slipping clutch with speed monitoring for automatic stops, 24V contactor control, and operating limit switches. The hoist is also designed for quick installation with height-adjustable control pendants and \u2018plug & lift\u2019 electric connections.<\/p>\n

Capable of operating in temperatures ranging from -20\u00b0C to +45\u00b0C, the hoist features a low-maintenance design, with key components like the gearbox and brake requiring no maintenance for up to 10 years.<\/p>\n

M\u00f6llmann added that there are plans to offer pre-configured quick-ship hoists with standard features, pendants and trolleys from March 2025.<\/p>\n

The company is also enhancing its presence in Europe with a new order for two hybrid rubber-tyred gantry (RTG) cranes from Terminales Mar\u00edtimas de Vigo.<\/p>\n

Termavi operates the main container terminal at Spain\u2019s Port of Vigo on the country\u2019s Atlantic coast.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur investment in hybrid Konecranes RTGs aligns with our drive for more efficient and sustainable container handling,\u201d said Rom\u00e1n Davila Gonz\u00e1lez, associate director, Termavi, Grupo Davila.<\/p>\n

The cranes are equipped with the complete range of Konecranes smart features including auto-steering, auto-truck guiding, auto-path optimisation and auto-positioning.<\/p>\n

Additional enhancements include trolley and truck lane cameras, tyre pressure monitoring, fire suppression systems and automatic greasing systems.<\/p>\n
