We know waste handling
A waste handling crane plays a crucial role in modern incineration plants, where tight environmental guidelines apply and material handling must perform at maximum efficiency from the moment waste arrives, as the crane stacks, sorts, mixes and delivers it to the incinerator. Typically, there are two waste-handling cranes above the waste pit, one of which is a backup, to ensure minimal downtime.
Konecranes waste handling crane is designed for continuous operation, three shifts a day, all year round, providing you with reliability and outstanding performance in a compact and robust design. Ergonomic and versatile, the crane can operate in manual, semi-automated or fully automated modes. The standard waste handling crane has a capacity of 4 to 32 tons with a typical span from 18 to 35 meters.
Customer Case - Quebec, Canada
"The experience of the supplier was one of our principal requirements, reliability was another. It was very important for us that the cranes work, 24 hours a day, 7 days per week, all year long. And it continues to be important year after year. I am happy to say that we are very satisfied with the equipment we have now.”
Yves Frechet, Principal Design Engineer at City of Quebec
