Konecranes Port Cranes 2. DRIVE AND CONTROL SYSTEM RETROFIT Automation technology has been advancing very quickly in recent years. Konecranes has been leading the way in the automation of yard cranes in container terminals. With the introduction of the Konecranes Automated RTG (ARTG), automation can be applied to your RTG-based container terminal without major infrastructure investment. The drive and control system retrofit described here will put your existing Konecranes RTGs on the evolution path to automation. It will bring many other benefits as well. Figure 1. The drive and control...

Konecranes Port Cranes why do this retrofit? if your RTGs are 10-15 years old, their steel structures should still be in good condition. However, the crane electronics and components will have aged and will gradually become outdated. We offer the drive and control system retrofit to prevent wear-based breakdowns from increasing, to ensure spare parts availability, and to generally future-proof the cranes. When you retrofit the newest technology from the latest generation of Konecranes RTGs to your existing fleet, you empower your cranes, your crane operators and your business. The...

Konecranes Port Cranes The transportation time from our factory to your site depends on the country you are in, the type of transport used (air, sea, road), customs clearance time, and other possible administrative requirements. It usually takes from 1 to 5 weeks. Site works - removal of old components, installation of new components, electrical connections, start-up, commissioning - take 3 weeks for the first crane. Then add 2 weeks for each additional crane. Your cranes will be out of operation for about 2-3 days less than the total site works time. Normally, there is a period of 7 days...

Konecranes Port Cranes 3. power retrofits introduction Reducing fuel costs is in the best interest of every crane owner. Recent advances in technology can substantially improve how your RTG cranes consume power, reducing operating costs. The environmental impact of heavy machinery is increasingly under the microscope. Customers are ranking environmental friendliness higher as a selection criterion when choosing crane providers. Eco-efficiency has always been a driver of Konecranes RTG design. Our power option retrofits make Konecranes RTGs even more eco-efficient. In addition, because you...

Konecranes Port Cranes 3.2 CABLE REEL RETROFIT This retrofit eliminates the need for a diesel genset on your RTG crane by installing and fully integrating a cable reel feed that brings electricity directly from the port mains. The cable reel retrofit is available in high and medium voltage, and most Konecranes RTGs are eligible. Why do this retrofit? Running a crane on diesel can be expensive. It also produces carbon emissions, and the diesel genset makes noise. Have your Konecranes RTGs retrofitted with cable reels, and you can solve all of these problems at the same time. The cable reel...

The time needed for site works – removal of old components, installation of new components, electrical connections, startup, commissioning – is 4 weeks for the first crane, then add 3 weeks for each additional crane. 3.3 BUSBAR RETROFIT This retrofit converts your RTG to fully electric operation. The power is supplied by a low electrified fence, and there are no diesel emissions at all. There is also no refueling, and much less noise. Components are fully integrated: there are no additional interfaces. Why do this retrofit? Running a crane on diesel can be expensive. It also produces carbon...

Konecranes Port Cranes How long does this retrofit take? All of the components for the busbar retrofit are assembled and tested at a Konecranes factory. The lead time, including engineering, is 17 weeks - Just over 4 months. If the factory is in Finland, shipping takes 3 weeks to the USA, 2 weeks to the Middle East, and 1 week to a location in Europe. On-site, the first crane will take 3 weeks to retrofit, plus 2 weeks for each additional crane. 3.4 how do i decide on a power retrofit? There is no one right way to run a power retrofit project with Konecranes RTGs. Although there are a...
