Overview of the features of Konecranes Forklift Trucks

With box type chassis built to withstand in hard conditions, the fork lift trucks from Konecranes have a range of features offering great advantages.

Available with a selection of engines for various EU regulatory stages, these forklift trucks are equipped with low emission engines that produce high torques at low revolutions. A reduced fuel consumption and low noise levels are two more advantages to look forward to.

Optional safety features available come in the form of Parking Distance Control, a camera supervision system and even a breath analyser.

Load sensing hydraulics means that the forklift truck is capable of sensing the weight of the load and then adjusting the power needed in order to lift that load. Because only the needed power is applied in order to lift the load, fuel is used efficiently, in turn helping with a reduction in both noise and emissions.

The forklifts for sale are also equipped with continuous oil cooling allowing for great braking capacity without the high maintenance.

With a variety lifting mast choices, including Triplex and Duplex, owners also have the advantages of a ‘quick change’ fork system along with a range of attachments to choose from, available from Konecranes.
