Konecranes has enhanced its portfolio of industrial cranes by introducing an upgraded version of the CLX chain hoist crane. The new generation CLX overhead crane is mainly to be used for basic low capacity lifting needs. The CLX chain hoist crane offers reliability, improved performance capacity, safety and easy maintenance.

The lifting capacity of the CLX chain hoist crane ranges from 500kg up to 5 ton. Durable components and a number of technical features allow for hard use of the crane, but at the same time very smooth and accurate load handling. The stepless traveling movements and low speed suit tasks that demand accuracy, such as assembly work and mounting and lowering fragile loads. The faster speed reduces cycle time and offers greater productivity.

The new magnetic brake of the CLX chain hoist has been designed for over a million operations. In practice this means the whole life span of the hoist. The brake and a slipping clutch overload device are designed to prevent the load from dropping or micro slipping in the event of clutch failure or an unexpected external hazard.

The upgraded CLX chain hoist crane will be gradually introduced into the market and it is presently available globally with certain limitations.
