Here are three smart upgrades to maximise uptime, improve safety and reduce operating costs from Konecranes: The Konecranes Spreader Service Box, MD4 control system upgrade, and Konecranes Tire Saver:

1. Stay ahead of maintenance with the Konecranes Spreader Service Box:
OPTIMISE YOUR LIFT TRUCK UPTIME WITH THE KONECRANES SPREADER SERVICE BOX
Designed for Reach stackers and Empty Container Handlers, the Konecranes Spreader Service Box provides a complete kit of genuine Konecranes spare parts in one ready-made package. By ensuring the right components are always on hand, it supports effective preventive maintenance, reduces downtime, and helps avoid costly delays. Instead of placing multiple orders, everything required is delivered in a single, convenient kit – enabling faster maintenance, more accurate planning, and improved stock control.
Key benefits include:
✔ Faster maintenance with all required parts readily available
✔ Improved preventive planning with no missing components
✔ Reduced downtime through immediate access to genuine parts
✔ Better stock control across single units or entire fleets
2. Keep your Konecranes Lift Truck running safely – upgrade your control system today:
**KEEP YOUR KONECRANES LIFT TRUCK RUNNING SAFELY – UPGRADE YOUR CONTROL SYSTEM TODAY**
With older control systems like the MDL2 now obsolete and no longer supported, repairs are becoming increasingly difficult, time-consuming, and unreliable. Upgrading to the new MD4 control unit ensures safer operations, improved reliability, and helps avoid costly, unexpected failures. The MD4 offers a modern, intuitive interface with a larger display, faster support through readily available software updates, and integrated features such as reverse camera display – eliminating the need for additional cabin screens.
By upgrading, you can minimise downtime, improve maintenance efficiency, and future-proof your equipment for long-term performance.
3. Make your tyres last longer with Konecranes Tire Saver
Make Your Tyres Last Longer with Konecranes Tire Saver
Konecranes Tire Saver helps extend tyre life and reduce operating costs by minimising wear on steering tyres – one of the biggest maintenance expenses in lift truck operations. The system works by slightly increasing the turning radius, reducing strain on tyres in operations that don’t require tight manoeuvring. This leads to longer replacement intervals, improved productivity, and less rubber waste. It’s a simple mechanical retrofit that can be installed on Konecranes forklifts, container handlers, and reach stackers, helping maximise the value of your existing fleet.
