Not just lifting things,

Konecranes is introducing an industry shaping industrial crane, SMARTON. It presents an evolution in crane technology, designed to maximize customer productivity and minimise total lifecycle costs. Depending on the set up, SMARTON can lift loads ranging from 30 tons to more than 500 tons
This new overhead crane is the result of intensive development work to satisfy the lifting needs of industrial customers.
SMARTON® is an evolutionary, not revolutionary, technology that combines time-tested components with innovative refinements.
Adapts to customer needs
SMARTON® cranes have many intelligent features as standard:
• Sway Control
• Teachable Working Area Limits
• Brake Energy Feedback
• Shock Load Prevention
and many optional features to ease the use and reduce work cycle times.
There is no need to equip SMARTON® in the beginning with everything that the customer expects to use in the future. This crane can easily be updated anytime with additional features, such as automated positioning, extended speed range, defined working areas, maintenance monitoring, or remote diagnostics.
Saves space and energy
SMARTON® is a robust crane that is compact in size. This enables new industrial spaces to be smaller than before, reducing construction costs. The compact structure of SMARTON® provides tight hook approaches, allowing the user to put the load down much closer to the wall.
SMARTON® is designed with environmental responsibility in mind. Braking energy is fed back into the power grid, reducing energy consumption and energy costs by up to one third.
Minimises maintenance shutdowns
One of the main goals in the development of SMARTON® was to minimize the frequency and duration of maintenance shutdowns.
The crane monitors its own condition and recommends when and what kinds of inspections or preventive maintenance should be performed. SMARTON® keeps track of work cycles and predicts the remaining safe operating lifetime of the various components.
