Coil handling cranes for the automotive industry

  • | We know coil handling

    A coil handling crane delivers steel coils for unreeling and blank cutting. Once the steel is pre-cut to the right size—these pieces, or blanks—are pressed in a stamping machine to form the parts of a car body, such as the hood, doors, trunk, roof, and so on. Pressing involves a sequence of three to five consecutive stamping operations with forces ranging from 1,000 – 25,000 kN to produce the part.

    A Konecranes coil handling crane is designed to travel long distances at fast speed to keep work cycles short for the demanding production schedules of the automotive industry. The right attachment can provide safe and easy coil handling, and the standard lifting capacity of the crane is 80 tons. It can also be customized for your specific requirements.
