Konecranes<\/a> was chosen for a $58.6 million modernization project for a major power utility in the United States.<\/p>\n

The utility has two polar reactor cranes in two different facilities that are in need of upgrades due to plant extensions.<\/p>\n

The customer is looking to increase lifting capacity and update the controls to variable frequency drives for smoother travelling motion and better load control. They also want new operator cabs with joystick controls for better ergonomics. The order was booked in December 2021.<\/p>\n

Konecranes<\/a> successfully uprated two of the utility\u2019s polar cranes in 2002 from 125 ton to 140 ton when it purchased heavier replacement reactor heads for its two units. Konecranes<\/a> provided extensive work to the polar reactor cranes inside of containment utilizing its patented work platform.<\/p>\n

This project has a total completion time of seven years. In that time, Konecranes<\/a> will replace all four polar crane trolleys with complete eight-wheel equalizing trolleys with 150-ton standard capacity and 180-ton special rated capacity for occasional use.<\/p>\n
