The Konecranes electric tyre handler takes innovation further, delivering an eco-friendly solution without compromising power. The new E-VER electric model achieves smooth acceleration and fast lifting speeds with a significant decrease in energy costs and environmental impact. Powered by a Lithium-ion battery, the electric tyre handler reduces energy consumption by up to 70% using the 110-kW electric drive motor and an 80-kW motor for hydraulics and lifting. Additionally, the battery can be fully recharged in just 45 minutes using a charging station. Compared to a diesel tyre handler, the electric model is built on a sturdy frame with less mechanical components, resulting in smooth and quiet operation, increased uptime, and hassle-free maintenance.

Operator experience is at the forefront of the design. The Konecranes signature Optima Cabin provides superior visibility and spaciousness, featuring an adjustable seat, customizable steering, and an ergonomic joystick for precise control. A crystal-clear 7-inch touchscreen delivers real-time data on tyre pressure, tipping angles, and other critical parameters, while the advanced climate control system ensures comfort in all working conditions.

Refined through years of collaboration with our valued mining customers, manufacturers and contractors, the Konecranes electric tyre handler integrates cutting-edge safety features and continuous product enhancements.

These critical safety features, which have been field tested, include the Wireless Clamp Pressure Monitor, Sequential Safety Lighting System, Wireless Magnetic Cameras, and the Blaxtair Pedestrian Detection System.

For further safety and efficiency, additional optional features can be integrated, such as heavy-duty stairs and handrails, fire and burst protection for hoses, electronic weight scales, auto engine shutdown, auto park brake function, isolator switches, central greasing, and more.

From cutting-edge safety systems to intelligent design, the Konecranes electric tyre handler is built to meet the toughest demands of tyre handling while protecting operators and site personnel.

The tyre handlers 110kW motors produce instant torque with rapid acceleration when needed. This makes it highly manoeuvrable and enjoyable to drive for the operator.

 

Dynamic Driving

The tyre handler can handle slopes up to 20% faster compared with the diesel model.

 

Quick Lifting Speeds

The electric tyre handler produces faster lifting speeds compared to the diesel model, including up to 25% faster on 10-18 tonne models, and 10% faster on 18-25 Tonne models.

 

Tyre handler attachment

Rugged Tyre Handling Attachment

The specialised tyre handling attachment enables the safe and efficient handling of Off-the-Road (OTR) tyres weighing up to 16 tonnes. Designed to accommodate tyre diameters from 1500mm to 4020mm, the attachment offers a ±35º rotation for enhanced manoeuvrability. Side arm pads ensure a secure grip with a 90º tipping rotation, while automatic hydraulic fallback arms prevent the tyre from tipping toward the cabin for added safety. For greater flexibility, an optional override feature allows manual disengagement of the fallback arms during tyre tipping operations.

 

Eco Friendly

The fully electric drivetrain reduces energy consumption and ensures zero emissions. This makes it perfect for both indoor and outdoor operation.

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.

 

Perimetre Lighting (Optional)

Bright safety perimeter lights are effective at creating pedestrian exclusion zones. Furthermore, blue spot warning lights can also be attached to  warn pedestrians when the forklift is approaching, particularly when the forklift is manoeuvring around corners or blind spots.

 

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.

 

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.

 

Blaxtair Pedestrian Detection Systems (Optional)

Automatically detect pedestrians in real time with intelligent 3D stereo cameras that can be retrofitted anywhere on the tyre handler. These cameras help minimise accidents on site by instantly warning the operator when a pedestrian has entered the danger zone.
