Strength, power, reliability

An auxiliary crane is a crane used in a paper manufacturing plant to support raw material handling and help with maintenance tasks. Basically, it is a spare crane that can replace the main lifting equipment in case of unexpected downtime, or it can assist in repairs or service, minimizing any delays to production.

A Konecranes auxiliary crane is a compact, robust and general-purpose lifting machine designed for an industrial operating environment. Depending on your facility, two models are particularly suitable for this purpose. A jib crane with a C-series hoist is an versatile piece of equipment that works well with overhead cranes on production lines and keeps machining cells and warehouses running. The CXT crane was designed and manufactured specifically for safe and reliable industrial load handling.

If the crane had not fit into the factory hall, the only option would have been to lower the winder, which would have brought its own difficulties. Without Konecranes, we would probably have had to take a timeout to rethink the whole situation.
