Konecranes has launched a new overhead crane aimed at serving the needs of emerging markets.
To be built at the Finnish company’s facility at Jejuri near Pune, the new crane, CXT Uno is primarily intended for companies operating in manufacturing, construction, and logistics.
It also marks Konecranes’ entry into the mid-market segment in the country.
Following the roll out here, the plan is also to export it to other countries in the future.
“India is key to our growth targets, and at Jejuri we have manufacturing capacity of 1000 cranes annually,” Pekka Lundmark, President and CEO Konecranes said, adding that the company wanted to be present in both upper and mid segment markets.
At Jejuri, Konecranes has invested €15 million which is its single largest manufacturing investment anywhere in the world.
Capable of lifting loads up to 10 tons up to 9 metres off the ground, the features of the CXT Uno include 2-speed hoisting and travelling design with compact single-girder construction, and can operate over spans of up to 20 metres.
