Konecranes to supply new X-series crane to Peikko’s new production facility in Ukraine

Konecranes has received an order to supply its latest X-series crane to Peikko's new facility in Bila Tserkva, Ukraine, where it will support the production of concrete connections and floor structures for the construction industry. The order was placed at the end of December 2024, followed by an additional order for a 100-meter runway in January 2025. Installation is scheduled for early to mid-April 2025.

The crane will feature a 5-ton Konecranes S-series low-headroom hoist with synthetic rope, CANMAN radio, and an energy chain for the trolley, supporting efficient and safe operations. It also includes integrated Smart Features to enhance safety and help increase productivity with shorter load cycle times.

Peikko is expanding in Ukraine and their new facility, which is close to the capital Kyiv, is expected to open between April and May 2025. The company has indicated plans to order a second similar crane within the next year.

"We’ve had the opportunity to work with Peikko in several countries over the years, and their decision to invest in our latest X-series crane for their new facility in Ukraine reflects the strong working relationship we've developed. This collaboration is rewarding, as it has the potential to contribute to the rebuilding efforts in Ukraine," said Dmytro Gerasymenko, Director of Industrial Equipment and Service Sales, Konecranes, Ukraine.

A strong focus on customers and commitment to business growth and continuous improvement make Konecranes a material handling industry leader. This is underpinned by investments in digitalization and technology, plus our work to make material flows more efficient with solutions that decarbonize the economy and advance circularity and safety.
