Smarter where it matters Smarton®is made of standard components developed by and for Konecranes specifically for use in cranes. These components are in serial production under strict quality control, backed by Konecranes’ global delivery process. As a result you get a good price-to-performance ratio, fast delivery, and smooth commisioning and operation from day one. True vertical lift is provided by a twinrope configuration that minimizes horizontal movement when the load is lifted or lowered. This increases load positioning accuracy and decreases wear on the ropes, rope sheaves and rope...

Konecranes Smarton® Smarton® VITAL STATISTICS SMARTON®lifts from 6.3 to 250 tons with a single trolley and up to 500 tons with two trolleys. Duty classes range from assembly use to the heaviest process use.

Konecranes Smarton® TECHNOLOGY HIGHLIGHTS HIM remote controller The HIM (Human Interface to Machine) remote controller is a prime example of form meeting function in industrial design. When your crane drivers get the HIM in their hands, they’ll be very reluctant to use other controller types again. Nevertheless, if you don’t want to introduce a new controller type to your production process, your existing controller type can be used with SMARTON®. DynA family of inverter crane controls The DynA inverter crane controls used in SMARTON®reduce cycle time, improve load positioning accuracy and...

On/off horn Lights on/off “Quick home” If you’re planning to build a new production facility, SMARTON®can help to cut structural costs considerably thanks to its low headroom requirement. You can reduce the overall height of your building with all the resulting cost savings. Target positioning, end positioning Two-point drum suspension SMARTON®has a unique design for mounting the hoist machinery: two-point drum suspension. It allows the gearbox to articulate when the rope drum bends under load. Structural deflections of the rope drum do not cause misalignment in the connection between the...

Konecranes Smarton® SMARTER CORE OF LIFTING The motor/gearbox/control unit is the electromechanical heart of SMARTON®. We call this unit the SMARTER CORE OF LIFTING because it works as a package, that is designed and manufactured specifically for cranes. It is perfectly integrated for lifting. The SMARTER CORE OF LIFTING is so important that we keep every aspect of its design and most of its manufacture in-house. It features many technologies unique to Konecranes: a motor specifically for lifting that we design ourselves; special gears for lifting that we manufacture ourselves; a control...

HOW VALUABLE IS YOUR LOAD?

Konecranes Smarton® TOTAL LOAD CONTROL We offer a set of optional Smart Features with the SMARTON®crane that give you total load control in your production process. For a move such as the one at right, where there is no margin for error, the following are recommended: Sway Control takes the operator’s speed command at the controls and brings the load to the required speed while preventing sway caused by acceleration and deceleration. This quite indispensable Smart Feature makes load positioning very precise and reduces load cycle times. Inching provides another way to approach the load...
