CXT CRANES

 







   To meet the individual load handling capacity and factory size requirements the CXT cranes are available in single and double girder construction with profileor box type girder design. Top connections, side connections and under hang main girder connections are available for different building heights and constructions. 
   Speeds, control methods and a wide range of available additional features are used to tailor the crane exactly to meet the individual application requirements. 







CXT CRANES FOR THE BEST RETURN ON YOUR INVESTMENT
 
 

• CXT cranes are superior in using the available space of your building. It means flexibility in factory layout and material flow planning 
• New buildings can be designed smaller and more functional. Considerable savings in initial building investmentas well as in the heating, air-conditioning and other maintenance costs can be achieved 
• Easy load handling adds productivity 
• High class performance for flexibility also for temporary peak usage situations and longer life-time 
• Outperforming reliability for decreased maintenance costs and maximal uptime 
• In-build safety and unique safety features of the CXT cranes save your money 
THE CXT CRANES OFFER YOU EXTRA POWER AND FLEXIBILITY

Machinery rating for medium heavy operation (ISO M5)

   The CXT cranes are designed for medium heavy operation as standard. For the majority of industrial crane applications this high class machinery rating offers exceptional long life time and also flexibility to future changes in material handling requirements. 
 
 





High performance hoisting motor with 60 % duty cycle.

   With the experience and know how of the largest motor manufacturer for crane applications, KCI Konecranes developed for the CXT new high performance hoisting motors, which combine extra power with superior cooling characteristics. The hoisting motors also have the power and flexibility for temporary peak usage situations. 

 








EASY AND MOST EFECTIVE LOAD CONTROL

   Inverter control as standard in crane and trolley travelling

   Speed control of a crane plays the most important role in making the material handling more safe and efficient. Inverter control in horizontal movements being the most advantageous, are for the first time in this capacity range incorporated as standard in the CXT cranes. Smooth starts and stops reduce wear and mechanical stress on structures and minimises the load sway. Improved productivity is achieved because moving and positioning the load is faster, easier and safer. 

 




FAST AND ACCURATE LOAD POSITIONING
 
   True Lift as standard - the hook moves horizontally only 5 mm during one meter lift.

  Because of the innovative mechanical design of the CXT hoists, with a large rope drum diameter anda short drum length the horizontal travel of the hook during lowering is minimal. This means fast and accurate load positioning. 

ADJUSMENT FREE AND DUSTPROOF BRAKES

   The hoisting brake is designed for the life time of the hoist (FEM) 

   The high capacity brakes are adjustment free and of dust proof construction. 
   The brake is designed to last over 1 Million brakings. 
 






GEARS IN THEIR OWN CLASS

   Ultimate quality in power transmission

   Extreme accuracy combined with hardened and ground gearing means trouble free operation even after years of intensive use of the crane. 



4 STEP LIMIT SWITCHING FOR HOISTING

   4 fully adjustable switching points for safe operation

   Lower limit, upper limit and slow down operation to improve safety. Phase sequence control to prevent phase mismatch. 
 

NEW ERGONOMIC HOOK DESIGN

   Rigging of the load is more safe

   The new design of the hook forging and the robust safety catch makes the load fixing easier and more safe. 
 












MULTIPLE LIFE TIME FOR THE ROPES

   The rope drum to rope diameter ratio more than double compared to convential design.
   Minimum rope fleet angles for maximum lifetime.

   The innovativedesign of the CXT hoists with a large rope drum diameter reduces the stress and wear of the lifting rope. Compared to conventional designs, the lifting ropes of CXT cranes have multiple life times. Together with the rigid rope fixing this increases the safety in the workplace. 
 







SAVE IN BUILDING COST

   New buildings can be designed smaller and more functional 

   Because of theunique dimensions of the CXT cranes the floor area under the crane is used more efficiently. The required height below and above the crane is also minimised. Obviously, new buildings can be designed smaller and more functional.The savings in initial building investment as well as in the heating, air-conditioning and other maintenance costs amount to considerable sums. 
 
 









TAKE EVERY CUBIC METER IN USE

   CXT cranes have exellent hook approaches at both ends of the crane 

   In existing buildings the CXT crane eliminates unused or not fully used square meters because the crane can go closer to the walls and lift the load higher. It gives more flexibility in factory layout and material flow planning with the best possible floor area coverage. The CXT cranes are simply superior in using the available space of your building.
