Workstation lifting systems perfect fit for assembly hall
We supplied and installed a comprehensive range of hoist and crane lifting system solutions within Jaguar Land Rover’s flagship Engine Manufacturing Centre (EMC) located in Wolverhampton, UK.
Standing as a world-class manufacturing facility and the first of its kind to be commissioned by Jaguar Land Rover within a generation, we have also assumed responsibility for onsite planned service and maintenance programs relating to the equipment portfolio involved. This process will be supported by some 40 Konecranes service technicians, all of whom are located within a 20-mile radius of the EMC.
Currently installed within the EMC’s machine component and engine assembly halls – home to Jaguar Land Rover’s latest generation Ingenium, 2-litre diesel engine – are some 150 Konecranes hoist and crane systems. Standing as a versatile production line lifting solution are 70 free standing pillar jib cranes, each equipped with our popular and versatile CLX electric chain hoist that provides a maximum lifting capacity of 250 kg.
Workstation solutions
Also figuring prominently across the EMC site are some 80 workstation solutions that center on our modular Konecranes KBK lightweight aluminum workstation lifting system. Spanning up to eight meters in length, 50 of the stations have been specified with additional CLX chain hoists – also rated to 250kg – while the remaining 30 feature ATB pneumatic air balancers.
Pat Campbell, Konecranes Country Director – UK and West Europe said: “We are obviously delighted that Konecranes’ lifting equipment solutions have been installed within the Jaguar Land Rover EMC here in the UK. Not only does the facility stand as an important part of the company’s strategic growth plans, it is set to be recognized as a global benchmark for manufacturing excellence.”
