Konecranes is expanding its electrified portfolio and redefining operations between ship and container stack technology through new Port Solutions developments.
The company’s new launches cover innovations in straddle carriers, integrated automated solutions and port services:
• Konecranes Noell Straddle Carriers modular power options – Supporting the shift towards more sustainable practices, Konecranes has redesigned its Konecranes Noell Straddle Carriers to give the industry greater flexibility with interchangeable power modules including hybrid, battery and hydrogen options. The uniform design facilitates quicker delivery times and ensures the ready availability of spare parts. Maintenance demands are reduced, and each unit is pre-equipped for hydrogen use in addition to hybrid and battery power. The modular construction simplifies power system upgrades to meet the diverse energy needs of terminals now and in the future.
• Future Fields concept redefines the relationship between ship and stack - Future Fields is an automation concept that incorporates an innovative multi-trolley ship-to-shore (STS) crane, an automated guided vehicle (AGV) and Automated High-Bay Container Storage to tackle challenges such as increasing vessel sizes and the limited availability of land. The outputs are improved productivity, greater consistency and higher capacity in container handling activities.
• Remote Support stops the downtime clock - Konecranes has renewed its Remote Support services for ports and terminals, which reduces the need for technicians to travel to site locations or wait on resources. Remote Support gives customers instant access to Konecranes experts through dedicated phone numbers, along with the Konecranes Support online platform and video calling for troubleshooting.
