Cleaning up the Asia Pacific
Konecranes has unveiled its next Generation C series of lift trucks to its south-east Asian Pacific customers meaning that they can now benefit from increased efficiency and engine performance.
The new C series spans the entire Konecranes product range of lift trucks (which includes 10 to 65 tonne fork lift trucks, container lift trucks and the full range of reach stackers).
Patrik Lundbäck, regional sales & service director of the APAC Region, said: “The Generation C lift truck is a collection of refinements and bold new technologies that improve our lift trucks in ways that make them safer, cleaner, quicker and more cost effective.”
The C series is equipped with common platform diesel engines that meet emission legislation levels EU Stage II / EPA Tier 2, EU Stage IIIA / EPA Tier 3, or EU Stage IV / EPA Tier 4f. These new engines are, in general, several decibels more silent and can save up to 6% in fuel consumption over previous ones.
Most engines can be supplied with a start/stop function to further reduce fuel consumption by typically between 5 to 15% and to extend the factual engine service life.
The new driver’s cabin offers operators class-leading spaciousness and superior visibility made possible by an even more ergonomic layout with integrated seat-mounted controls. A 7” touch screen colour display provides full truck monitoring including eco-drive, fuel management and driver login.
It also supports an optional integrated rear-view camera and tyre pressure monitoring. The efficient HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning) system offers a 50% overall capacity improvement.
Konecranes TRUCONNECT® remote monitoring service monitors everything from fuel consumption and travelling, to critical events optimising the lift truck’s efficiency even further.
