Konecranes has supplied five 25-ton CXT Double Girder Cranes to Vietnam’s VinFast Auto Ltd., bringing the total number of cranes delivered to the automaker to 25. This latest order, which also includes TRUCONNECT Remote Monitoring, was placed in June 2024, with testing and commissioning currently in its final stages.
To help scale up production capabilities, Konecranes has equipped VinFast’s latest manufacturing facility with five 25-ton CXT Double Girder Cranes featuring TRUCONNECT Remote Monitoring. This technology provides real-time data and insights on crane performance and usage through advanced sensors and connectivity. Accompanied by a three-year maintenance contract, this setup will enhance the safety and productivity of VinFast's crane operations. Additionally, the cranes are equipped with dual hoists on a single trolley and a 120-meter runway, enabling seamless integration into VinFast's production workflow.
Mr. Trinh Van Ngan, Deputy CEO of Manufacturing of VinFast Auto, says: “At VinFast, we are committed to collaborating with trusted and capable partners to achieve our production goals and expand into global markets. Konecranes has consistently proven the quality of its material handling solutions, backed by professional support services and swift responsiveness, helping us maximize production efficiency and elevate operational safety.”
VanHuy Mai, Country Director for Konecranes Vietnam, says, “The quality of our products and regular service help ensure reliable production for VinFast. For this latest order, we further leveraged Konecranes' global manufacturing facilities to achieve shorter lead times, which proved highly beneficial for the customer.
A strong focus on customers, commitment to business growth, and continuous improvement make Konecranes a material handling industry leader. This is underpinned by investments in digitalization and technology, as well as efforts to make material flows more efficient with solutions that decarbonize the economy and advance circularity and safety.
