Konecranes offer solutions for variety of lifting needs

Konecranes offers three different options for workstation material handling requirements. The Workstation Crane Systems (XA Aluminum), Industrial Load Manipulators (ATB AirBalancer and ATL Vertical Lifter), and CLX Electric Chain Hoists, among others, enable safe and precise lifting together with optimal productivity. They are easy to install and operate and provide a smooth and powerful lifting capacity.

The versatility of the XA aluminum workstation crane system

The XA Aluminum Workstation Crane from Konecranes has been designed to meet and exceed the requirements of modern lifting demands in industries such as the automotive sector. The multipurpose XA Aluminium Workstation Crane is light-weight, yet strong enough to handle demanding production needs. It can handle loads up to two metric tons, making it a sound and cost-efficient solution. The system features a modular design, intended to reduce downtime during installation, expansions, or upgrades. High structural stiffness, small rolling resistance, and quiet use make it ideal for both standard and tailor-made lifting solutions.

Konecranes offers one of the most comprehensive and versatile aluminum rail programs in the industry. Monorails, single, double girder and low headroom cranes can be configured for use across the entire production line. The XA Aluminum Workstation Crane has different profile sizes for different loads, and all profiles have bolt connections so no welding is required. When compared to a traditional steel I beam, this light aluminum structure reduces rolling resistance and dead weight by 50%, so loads are handled faster and with less effort. An anodized surface provides superior corrosion resistance, giving the XA crane system's surface greater durability and a longer lifetime.

Coupled with Konecranes’ CLX, ATB AirBalancer, and ATL Vertical Lifter, the XA Workstation Lifting system provides a smooth and quiet journey, even across joints.

ATB AirBalancer allows nearly weightless movement of variable loads

The Konecranes ATB AirBalancer is a lifting device that supports picking, lifting, moving, and placing items by hand. The enhanced safety, reliability, and smooth operation offered by the pneumatic powered lifting device makes the AirBalancer ideal for assembly processes, repair, and industrial production tasks across a broad range of industries. For example, the aviation, solar energy, and automotive industries’ process tasks require fast and smooth transfer movements of heavy parts with high precision. Konecranes’ AirBalancer meets these needs with high and flexible movement speeds, which smoothly supports the operators natural motion and an optional automatic load balancing feature that allows operators to freely and accurately move the load in zero-gravity mode.

In addition, the AirBalancer’s equipment is compatible with Konecranes XA and many other crane systems, making it a very flexible solution for enhancement and modernization of existing and new workstations. The AirBalancer also offers impressive safety and productivity features, including load weight compensation for predictable movement of loads regardless of variances in weight. A wide range of options allows easy configuration to fit the AirBalancers perfectly into the individual applications.

Safer, faster, and more precise vertical lifting with ATL Vertical Lifter

The Konecranes ATL Vertical Lifter is a telescopic lifting device for use with an XA Aluminum Workstation Crane. Unlike conventional chain or rope hoists, it can lift loads up to 500 kg outside the center of gravity. Available in either pneumatic or electric models, the vertical lifting equipment from Konecranes can be easily adapted to diverse lifting needs. The Vertical Lifter is excNike Air Max
