Konecranes launches gantry crane with open frame design

The Konecranes open frame design is more cost effective than the box girder structure and makes it easier to inspect critical weld points throughout the life of the crane. It is easier to install and maintain the sleeper and ballast runway than conventional gantry cranes. The company's linear trajectory and rotary configuration gantry cranes are designed to maximize flexibility, reducing load offset and minimizing structural and track maintenance.
