Wire Rope Hoist

More speed, productivity, and precision

The Konecranes CXT electric wire rope hoist is developed by
listening customer’s needs in material handling. The hoist can be
adapted to almost any application to ensure efficient and reliable
operation, regardless of the operating conditions. All CXT hoist
types are united by speed and usability, enabling improved
productivity.

Safety first
The operator has to be able to rely on safe performance of the
crane. High quality components and precise manufacturing based
on years of experience enable enhanced durability of the hoist.

For example, the sway control of the load and the protected area
properties work reliably and tirelessly, increasing both safety and
productivity. Konecranes’ product development has invested in
speeding up and extending hoist operation cycles, and in crane
safety and durability.

CXT’s have highly flexible steel

wire ropes taht are designed
to specific rope reeving
requirements.

High technology in a compact size
The compact dimensions allow for a more efficient use of space, which
makes the hoist suitable and flexible or use in more confined applica-
tions. We manufacture the critical components ourselves, and we use
carefully selected suppliers.

NEW!
CXT double girder trolleys have a totally new rope reeving system.
The structure has been optimized in terms of payload and mainte-
nance. the redesigned structure is up to 30% lighter.

CXT is worth your expectations. We trust the new CXT!

The new rope reeving system extends the lifetime

of the ropes by as much as 40%*, which has a
significant impact on maintenance costs.

Maintenance has also been made easier by

making the relevant components for easier to
access. The CXT family also has new optimized
load beams for better apayload.

* Extension of lifetime depends on the Our goal is to develop

reeving system. The calculation is based our products in a way
on a mathematical analysis. that makes load handling
easier for customers.
The CXT is a perfect
example of that.

With different trolley configurations, CXT electric wire rope hoists maximizes
the lifting height and is easily fitted to different kinds of buildings.
