Redesigned Konecranes Noell Straddle Carrier uses modular power options, leading the way to zero tailpipe emissions
Konecranes Noell Straddle Carriers have been redesigned around three power options - hybrid, battery and hydrogen – and are now available with power modularity that is easily interchangeable with a minimum of downtime. As container terminals make the transition to low-carbon operations, they now have the flexibility to choose the straddle carrier power source most suitable for their changing needs, with no compromise in performance.
The Konecranes E-VER electric forklift just got bigger
Konecranes introduces a heavy-duty version of its flagship E-VER electric forklift for lifting capacities of 18-25 tons. The E-VER electric forklift is now offered with increased capacity to meet the high-performance demands of industries such as steel and mining in addition to ports. With growing industry demand for low-carbon solutions, this new range of lift trucks is part of the Konecranes commitment to power up for the future and electrify their entire lift truck fleet by the end of 2026.
A container handling revolution from ship to stack
Developed in partnership with industry experts, 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. Future Fields can improve productivity, consistency and capacity in container handling, and reflects one of Konecranes’ core values: 'Driving for Better'.
Remote Support stops the downtime clock
Complementing the Ecolifting expanded portfolio launches, Konecranes has renewed its Remote Support services for ports and terminals, which reduce the need for technicians to travel to site locations or wait on resources. Remote Support gives customers instant access to Konecranes experts through a dedicated hotline phone number, the Konecranes Support online platform and video calling for troubleshooting.
