SPONSORED POST (Virtual Showroom): Leading crane manufacturer Konecranes is the first company in South Africa to conduct online, live, crane demonstrations for its customers.

The company explains that Covid-19 related movement restrictions have prevented customers from attending live crane demonstrations, leading to the development of Konecranes’ Live Channel – a new online feature which brings crane demonstrations and discussions of associated technology, equipment and components ‘live’ and in real-time to its customers.

“The way the world works and interacts is changing and our Live Channel is an innovative tool which Konecranes has developed to showcase the company’s latest innovations directly to their customers - and in real time” said Konecranes MD, Emil Berning. “The Live Channel saves time, is interactive, personalised and safe while still enabling the customer to explore our crane offerings and new technologies and see the benefits in action, online” said Berning.

Konecranes has developed facilities that enable live video streaming on the Microsoft Teams platform and have set up a crane specifically equipped with cameras and links that enable all of the crane’s smart features and components to be activated for live viewing – just as they would be in a physical crane demonstration. Customers are able to view a potential new investment in real-time and any queries or specific requirements are addressed immediately by means of online engagement with Live Channel technicians.

The live Smart Features that form part of the online crane demonstration menu include:

  • Follow me
  • Snag prevention
  • Hook centering
  • Active sway control: sway control/no sway control
  • Target positioning
  • Protected areas
  • Working limits
  • Assisted load turning
  • Inching
  • Micro speed
  • ASR/ESR
  • Shock load prevention
  • Load floating
  • Hoist syncrhonisation
  • Bridge/trolley anti-collision

Live online demonstrations can be arranged by simply scheduling a meeting and selecting the specific smart features that are required for demonstration.

“The Live Channel also affords Konecranes the ability to showcase newly developed crane and related component technologies to the customer far more quickly and highlight the benefits for their particular line of application in a very cost-effective manner. It is a win-win situation, one of which we are very proud to be able to offer” concluded Berning.
