Konecranes South Africa can supply overhead cranes
and support equipment to customer requirements while still utilising
standardised components through their ‘configure-to-order’ (CTO) crane design
system and our range of CXT wire rope hoists.
Most of the lifting equipment design parameters
specified by the customer can be digitally configured by the Konecranes
engineers, thereby enabling a quicker turn-around from design to delivery.
Konecranes SA MD, Emil Berning said “Overhead
cranes do not necessarily require specially designed parts and can be
configured from pre-designed packages. With specially tailored girder designs
and trolley configurations the CXT can fit into all kinds of buildings and lift
almost any load up to 80 tons.
“The CTO process offers customers a more
cost-efficient asset investment. The design time is reduced due to the
utilisation of standard design parameters and criteria. Due to the fact that
the manufacturing and assembly processes utilise standard design elements and
components it eliminates, for example, the need for rigorous safety, design and
performance testing and accreditation that would be associated with equipment
that has been engineered to order and requiring specially manufactured
elements”, he explained.
The Konecrane CTO process offers a shorter lead
time, a quicker delivery to the customer, and site commissioning in a matter of
days. Financial savings can also be achieved due to the seamless CTO process.
Konecranes appoints a project manager for each
overhead crane order that shadows the entire process from order to delivery and
will conduct Factory Acceptance Tests to ensure your CXT works as it should and
Site Acceptance Tests on the new crane once it is in-situ.
As the components being used in the design have
already been certified and approved, the customer is assured of a safe and
compliant lifting equipment being constructed.
Konecranes is globally recognised for their
continued investment in to the development of advanced technologies for their
lifting businesses.
