DESIGN YOUR OWN CRANE
Our make your own crane service allows you to design a CXT crane tailored to your own requirements quickly and easily.

Just click the link and follow the instructions


To meet specific load handling capacity and factory size requirements, CXT cranes are available in single and double girder construction with profile or box girder design. Top connections and under hung 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.

CXT HOIST PERFORMANCE WITH DIMENSIONS 800 kg - 80 000 kg:
CXT wire rope hoists break the traditional mold of hoist design and represent a totally new approach within the lifting equipment industry. An innovative mechanical configuration plus stateof-the-art speed control and motor technology have made the CXT hoist the industry benchmark.
 


CXT hoists offer exceptional performance, easy load handling, superior safety, improved ergonomics and favourable dimensions. For industrial cranes, solo hoist or monorail applications or for upgrading existing hoisting equipment, CXT electric wire rope hoists offer the best return on your investment.
 


CXT hoists offer unique benefits for new crane and monorail installations, or for upgrading existing cranes with replacement hoists.

 

The CXT wire rope hoist range meets an extremely wide variety of application requirements. Many available lifting capacities, speeds, trolley types, duty classes and the comprehensive range of standard and additional features guarantee effective, safe and reliable solutions for your lifting situation.

  Low headroom trolley
Most common solution employed for single girder cranes and monorails. Most compact design for maximum space utilisation.

 

        Double girder trolley
   Ideal solution for double girder cranes used to lift heavier loads.

 

Normal headroom trolley
Mainly used in monorails when side clearances are restricted or for applications with curved runways.


Large Rope Drum Design
Exceptional safety and reliability in hoisting

CXT industrial cranes are equipped with CXT wire rope hoists, which have become the industry benchmark. The CXT hoist’s innovative mechanical design as well as its state-of-the-art motor and drive technology offer benefits that are unique to CXT.

Multiple lifetimes for lifting ropes

The rope drum diameter of the CXT hoist is more than double the size of conventionally designed hoist drums. This feature combined with minimal rope fleet angles reduces stress and wear on the lifting rope. Compared to conventional designs, the lifting ropes of CXT hoists can be expected to wear for multiple lifetimes.

True lift ensures accurate load positioning

Because of the large rope drum diameter and short drum length, the horizontal travel of the hook during lowering is minimized. As a result, accurate load positioning is faster. The hook moves horizontally only 5 mm during a one-meter lift. For applications that do not permit any horizontal hook drift CXT cranes can be delivered with hoists featuring double reeving.

High performance hoisting motors for extra power and flexibility

CXT’s high-performance lifting motors combine extra power with superior cooling characteristics. These hoisting motors with 60% ED not only deliver the increased performance required by temporary peak usage situations, but also improve reliability. The large-capacity hoists are designed with two hoisting motors, which provides additional safety and reliability.

Durable adjustment-free and dust-proof brakes

Safety and bottom-line reliability are enhanced by CXT’s excellent power transmission and braking systems. The high-performance brakes have an adjustment-free and dust-proof construction. For special demanding applications the hoists can be equipped with a second brake.

The gears used in CXT hoists are manufactured with extreme accuracy, which combined with hardened and ground gear
fabrication mean silent and trouble-free operation even after years of intensive use.
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


Adjustment-free and Dustproof brakes

High Performance Motors
The CXT family of cranes are manufactured with several main features, including:
Outstanding safety, performance and condition control system – ControlPro

CXT Industrial cranes can be equipped with Konecranes’ unique and advanced electronic control system known as ControlPro, which measures, calculates, monitors and controls the performance, safety and condition of the crane. It makes handling heavy loads easier and safer.
ControlPro’s overload protection and intermediate load limits that can be programmed to match application requirements increase personnel safety. In high-temperature environments and during exceptional peak usage situations an additional guarantee of performance is provided by constant temperature control and thermal protection of the hoisting motor. Data recorded by ControlPro about actual crane and hoist usage makes maintenance planning easier.
Pendant and Radio Controls

Konecranes’ pendant and radio controls can be equipped with displays that constantly show the weight of the load lifted. Crane operators, production and maintenance personnel can also easily read the crane usage and condition information from the display. This information enhances safety awareness and helps schedule maintenance to best advantage.
