Konecranes has built advanced safety, ergonomic and reliability technologies into its high performance CXT series of industrial cranes and wire rope hoists.
CXT cranes with individual hoist capacities up to 80 tons are designed to be industry benchmarks of safety and ergonomics, with easy and effective load handling and optimum dimensions for space saving solutions.
CXT cranes have excellent hook approaches at both ends of the crane and the headroom requirement is minimal. CXT cranes are designed to eliminate unused or under-utilised square meters as the cranes can operate closer to the walls and lift the load higher.
Inverter controls deliver smooth starts, acceleration and deceleration, which minimises load swing and enables fast and accurate load positioning. Konecranes Dynafamily inverter controls and pole changing controls are standard options for crane and trolley travelling on CXT cranes.
CXT features include:
- High performance hoisting motors with 60 per cent ED rating, which combine extra power with superior cooling characteristics. The hoisting motors also have the power and flexibility for temporary peak usage situations.
- Inverter control as standard in crane and trolley travels, for easy and effective load control. Smooth starts and stops reduce wear and mechanical stress on structures and minimises the load sway.
- This built-in durability and performance is combined with gears of extreme accuracy, with hardened and ground helical gearwheels with semi-fluid great lubrication and corrosion-proof housing, providing trouble-free operation.
- Fast and accurate load positioning with True Lift as standard, meaning the hook moves horizontally only 5mm during a one-metre lift. With a large rope drum diameter and a short drum length the horizontal travel of the hook during lowering is minimal.
- Ergonomic hook design, which makes rigging of the load safer, while the rope drum to rope diameter ratio is more than double that of conventional designs. With a large rope drum diameter stress and wear of the lifting rope is reduced.
- Durable adjustment-free and dust-proof high performance brakes for safety and bottom-line reliability. For demanding applications hoists can be equipped with a second brake.
CXT cranes are available in single and double girder construction with profile or box girder design. Top connections and underhung main girder connections are available for different building heights and constructions. Duty classification, speeds, control methods and a wide range of available additional features are used to tailor the CXT crane to meet exact operational and environmental application requirements.
