Konecranes presents a complete range of lift trucks with EU stage 4 / EPA 4f engines

Corporate press releases

With lower fuel consumption, reduced emissions and more power Konecranes is proud to present the EU stage 4 / EPA 4f engine offered on their complete range of lift trucks.

“Our intention is to always be at the engineering forefront, offering the latest development in engines to our customers. We can now meet the latest EU stage 4 / EPA 4f environmental standards, improving the efficiency of our products”, says Daniel Sjöstrand, Product Manager Konecranes Business Unit Lift Trucks.

The emission legislation being applied in Europe and North America has been a major challenge for all engine manufacturers, but as of 2014 certain engine manufacturers now offer EU stage 4 engines that meet this legislation. Konecranes now offers a wide range of EU stage 4 / EPA 4f engines that meet the latest emission legislation, with focus on operational economy, increased uptime, reduced emissions and outstanding performance.

SCR and EGR systems

Konecranes is especially satisfied with the efficient SCR (selective catalytic reduction) and EGR (exhaust gas recirculation) systems that our engine manufacturers have developed in order to meet the EU Stage 4 / EPA Tier 4f emission levels. The maintenance-free after treatment systems reduces NOx and soot particle levels while offering increased performance and productivity, together with reduced noise levels on the entire product range.

Focus on the environment

Konecranes welcomes the growing awareness and use of eco-efficient technologies by the customers. Together with the hybrid reach stacker and the improved engines the company continues to embrace innovations with regards to protecting the environment. “These engines will not only improve the day-to-day work environment of our customers, but will ultimately make a difference to the larger environment as well. This is what inspires us to lead the way in the use of new engine technologies” – Daniel Sjöstrand continues.
