Konecranes enhances 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 advantages like reliability, improved performance capacity, safety and easy maintenance.
Being one of the leading global providers of lifting solutions, Konecranes continuously develops its product range in order to offer its customers safe, quality and high-performance lifting equipment for increased productivity.
Greater efficiency, higher productivityWhen lifting performs a major role in a production process, reliability and performance capacity are top priorities. The lifting capacity of the CLX chain hoist crane ranges from 500 kg up to 5 tonnes. Durable components and a number of technical features allows for hard use of the crane, but at the same time very smooth and accurate load handling as well.
The stepless travelling 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 higher productivity.
Safety and long product lifeIn a lifting operation the brake of the chain hoist forms a critical part for product safety. The new magnetic brake of the CLX chain hoist has been designed for over million operations. In practice this means the whole life span of the hoist.
Further, 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.
