Product catalog summary
Motors Meant for Cranes
Konecranes designs motors specifically for crane use, as typical commercial motors are not optimal for crane duty. These motors are built to handle frequent starts and stops, tolerate high starting currents, and rotate in both directions. They are designed to endure the forces typical in crane operations, ensuring reliability and stability over many years.
The Right Motor for the Right Job
Konecranes tailors motors for specific lifting tasks, featuring thinner rotors for reduced inertia, smaller inverters for compact size, and protection against dust, water, and heat for harsh environments. These adaptations lead to lower energy requirements, cost savings, and environmental benefits, while ensuring functionality in hazardous conditions.
Quality Gives Less Downtime and Better Safety
Konecranes maintains a reputation for safe and reliable lifting equipment through rigorous quality monitoring and testing. They use advanced software and collaborate with universities for research, ensuring their cranes are well-tested and safe.
Compliance with International Standards
Konecranes motors comply with various international standards and directives, including ISO 9001, ISO 14001, OHSAS 18001, and several EU directives. They are certified by CSA and UL, and offer EX motors with specific protection types and markings for different zones.

What is Core of Lifting Core of Lifting in Industrial Cranes MOTORS MEANT FOR CRANES A typical commercial motor is not optimal for crane duty. We design our motors specifically for use in cranes. • • • • A crane motor must make lots of starts and stops with anything from a full load to an empty hook It should be able to tolerate a high starting current without overheating The motor must be able to rotate in both directions Konecranes motors are designed to endure the various forces induced on the normal crane operating environment MADE JUST FOR LIFTING IN CRANES, A KONECRANES MOTOR IS DESIGNED...

What is Core of Lifting Core of Lifting in Industrial Cranes Motors Controls CONTACT THE RIGHT MOTOR FOR THE RIGHT JOB We also tailor our motors for your particular lifting tasks. Specially adapting a motor for your specific requirements really makes a difference when you have to lift in a restricted space, carry unusual or difficult loads, or where speed is crucial to your processes. • A thinner rotor reduces the moment of inertia, so the motor requires less torque, less current, and less energy to lift the load • A smaller inverter can also be used, which makes a compact size and better approach...
