Productivity & Performance

 

Tyre handling attachment
Rugged Tyre Handling Attachment

The specialised tyre handling attachment allows the efficient and safe handling of Off-the Road (OTR) up to 16 tonnes. The attachment suits 1500-4020mm tyre diameters and can be rotated ±35º for greater handling versatility. Side arm pads also provide effective tyre gripping with a tipping rotation of 90º. Automatic hydraulic fall-back arms also prevent the tyre from tipping back towards the cabin for greater safety. During tyre tipping, these fallback arms can be manually disengaged though an optional override feature.

                  

Konecranes touch screen

Electronic Machine Control (EMC)

View real time information about the tyre handlers most vital components and performance, all from a modern 7-inch touch screen display. With programmable settings, this includes ECO-drive and fuel management, electronic overload and safety system, productivity counter management and much more. CanBus technology also increases engine and transmission reliability as well as hydraulics and levers.

 

Smart Load Sensing Hydraulics

Specially designed hydraulics sense the weight of the load and adapt lifting power accordingly. The tyre handler provides maximum power only when really needed, so it consumes less fuel while reducing emissions and noise.

 

Durable Chassis

The intelligent and durable Konecranes box-type chassis is a leading design offering one of the strongest chassis on the market. This provides higher lifting capacity without reductions at high lift heights.

 

Auto Engine Shut Down (Optional)

The engine can be automatically switched off when the tyre handler has been sitting in idle for a period. This time can be preprogrammed to minimise fuel wastage when the operator has stepped away and left the machine running.

 

Tyre handler clamp fall back arms

Fallback Arms Override (Optional)

An override system has been integrated with the onboard touch display that allows the operator to manually disengage the fallback arms. During tyre flipping, the fallback arms can be raised for 30 seconds to allow the tyre to be safely dropped. This prevents the tyre from impacting and damaging the attachments fallback arms.

 

Bulk diesel fuel supply

Fast Filling (Optional)

A non-pressurising fast-fuelling system can be installed to allow automatic diesel refuelling at up to 800 litres/minute. This boosts productivity by reducing the overall time required to fill the machine.

Safety

Emergency Stop Buttons

Emergency stop button are located on both sides of the tyre handler and in the cabin. This allows the operator and ground personnel to instantly stop the machine during an emergency.

 
Safety Alarm System

To increase the safety of the operator and surrounding pedestrians, an effective fire alarm and suppression system is installed within the tyre handler.

 

LED lights

LED Lighting (Optional)

LED lighting can be mounted to the light console on the cabin roof and next to the mast to complement existing lighting. These bright lights can provide up to 3000 lumens each, thereby increasing operator visibility and allowing for safer driving in low light conditions.

 

Konecranes slip-free stairs

Anti-Slip Steps

Anti-slip steps make it safe to access the cabin in any weather conditions.

 

Konecranes safety stairs

Mine Spec Steps and Handrails (Optional)

To further enhance safety, bright yellow anti-slip tread nosing can be mounted on the stairs for greater grip in dusty and wet site conditions. Handrails can also be mounted to ensure three points of contact when entering and exiting the tyre handler.

 

Auto Park Brake (Optional)

This safety feature automatically switches on the electronic handbrake if the operator leaves the seat before they have applied the handbrake. This enhances safety by preventing accidental movement of the machine.

 

Wireless clamp pressure monitor

Wireless Clamp Pressure Monitor (Optional)

This innovative safety feature allows operators to gauge how much pressure is being applied when gripping a tyre. It works by wirelessly transmitting the hydraulic pressure of the tyre clamp to the receiver, which can be monitored on a dash mounted digital display within the cabin. This gives the operator the exact pressure of the clamp which they can now reference to the correct pressure required.

Furthermore, if the tyre starts to slip or the clamp loses pressure, an audio alarm automatically alerts the operator and ground personnel of the danger. This enhances safety be ensuring no one is in the line of fire.

 

Sequential safety light system

Sequential Lighting Safety System (Optional)

This safety light system allows an operator to signal to ground personnel when it is safe to approach the tyre fitting area. Using the onboard touch display, the operator can quickly switch from a red light (danger) to a green light (safe), which helps to reduce risk in tyre maintenance.

 

Wireless magnetic cameras

Magnetic Wireless Cameras (Optional)

During tyre handling, operators can increase visibility by mounting up to three magnet wireless cameras on the tyre clamp attachment. The feed from these wireless cameras can then be viewed through a colour display within the cabin. The camera battery can also be swapped out quickly for uninterrupted use.

 

Pedestrian Detection Systems (Optional)

The Blaxtair pedestrian detection system acts as an effective traffic management solution which helps to minimise workplace incidents involving pedestrians and mobile equipment.

 

Perimetre Lighting (Optional)

Improve personnel safety by creating exclusion zones for pedestrians with perimeter lights. 

 

Isolator Switches (Optional)

A lockable starter isolator switch can be installed to safely prevent operation of the tyre handler when not in use. A battery isolator can also be used to prevent unwanted battery drain and to further boost safety.

 

fire extinguishers

Fire Protection (Optional)

Fire extinguishers can be installed in the cabin and mounted on both sides of the exterior cabin. This adds greater safety in the event of an emergency, ensuring the operator or ground personnel can act quickly.

Servicing & Maintenance
Full Braking Power

Continuous oil cooling is provided to ensure full braking power in any situation. Less maintenance is required which further reduces costs.

 

Easy & Fast Servicing

The box-type chassis allows for easier maintenance by providing a flat surface with good access to components and hoses. This speeds up servicing leading to reduced maintenance costs and increased uptime.

 

Safe to Service

The box-type chassis design also keeps the engine compartment clean and clear and helps prevent the build-up of dirt and oil, which also reduces the risk of fire. Maintenance personnel can also safely perform regular maintenance directly on the chassis without the need to work at height.

 

Wheel nut indicators

Wheel Nut Indicators (Optional)

These bright yellow indicators can help prevent accidents by providing an effective visual alert to operators and maintenance personnel when wheel nuts have become loose.

 

Real Time Performance

The Electronic Machine Control (EMC) is an intelligent system that provides the forklift operator real-time information on the trucks performance. The dashboard screen displays full truck monitoring of the engine, transmission, and hydraulics, which can help to plan maintenance and minimise downtime.

 

Extended Service Intervals

To reduce lifetime running and maintenance costs, Konecranes have effectively extended the service interval on their forklifts including the engine by 500 hours, the gearbox by 1000 hours and the hydraulics by 4000 hours.

Fleet Maintenance
