The next evolution in heavy material handling has arrived with the launch of the new Generation D Lift Trucks from Konecranes – a completely restructured platform designed to deliver higher levels of safety, reliability, productivity and lifecycle value for customers operating in demanding industrial environments.
Generation D introduces a newly structured modular product range together with an all-new digital control system – creating a future-ready platform while maintaining the proven lifting performance that Konecranes customers already know and trust.
Built for the Next Generation of Industrial Safety
One of the most significant advancements in Generation D is its new digital control system, developed to support the latest generation of industrial safety requirements for increasingly connected machinery. As industrial equipment becomes smarter and more connected, modern control systems must process greater volumes of operational data while supporting enhanced functional safety. Generation D provides the digital foundation for future developments while helping operators work more efficiently and safely.
Importantly, while Generation D introduces a completely new modular platform and digital control system, it retains the proven lifting technology that Konecranes customers already know and trust.
A Smarter Experience for Operators and Technicians
Designed with both operators and maintenance teams in mind, Generation D delivers what Konecranes describes as the “smartest, safest seat in the house.” Drivers benefit from a more intuitive operating experience and access to more machine information, while technicians can take advantage of enhanced diagnostics and rapid remote troubleshooting to identify faults faster, improve first-time fixes and minimise unplanned downtime. The result is increased uptime, improved productivity and a lower total cost of ownership throughout the machine’s lifecycle.
A Platform Built for the Future
Generation D’s modular design simplifies servicing, future upgrades and parts management while helping customers protect their investment over the long term. The platform has also been designed to meet upcoming European regulatory requirements for connected industrial machinery, including machinery safety and cybersecurity, giving customers confidence as industrial equipment becomes increasingly connected.
First Models Now Available
The first Generation D models to be launched are diesel and electric Reach Stackers, combining Konecranes’ proven lifting technology with an entirely new digital foundation that will support future product development across the lift truck range. As industries continue to demand safer, smarter and more connected equipment, Generation D demonstrates Konecranes’ commitment to delivering solutions that enhance operational performance today while providing a future-ready investment for tomorrow.
