Smulders Projects Belgium NV has ordered one Konecranes’s SMARTON heavy-duty industrial crane.
The crane, with a lifting capacity of 50 tons, will be delivered during this year and installed in a wind turbine construction facility in Hoboken, Belgium.
This is the ninth Konecranes crane to be delivered to Smulders, a company that is making foundations and towers for on and offshore wind turbines.
The new SMARTON crane will operate on the same runway as the existing two 250 ton Konecranes cranes giving more productivity to the assembly line as well as handling smaller assembly tasks.
Arnoud Versteden, Manager of Modernization, Industrial Cranes, Europe said: “New crane technology enables the operator to continuously stay up-to-date on not only the weight of the load but also its position relative to the available workspace.”
