Here are three smart upgrades from Konecranes designed to help maximise uptime, improve safety, and lower operating costs: the Konecranes Spreader Service Box, MD4 control system upgrade, and Konecranes Tire Saver.
1. Improve maintenance efficiency with the Konecranes Spreader Service Box
Developed for Reach Stackers and Empty Container Handlers, the Konecranes Spreader Service Box includes a complete set of genuine Konecranes spare parts in one convenient package. Having the correct parts readily available supports planned preventive maintenance, helps minimise downtime, and reduces the risk of costly operational delays.
Rather than managing multiple separate orders, everything needed is supplied in a single kit — making maintenance faster, stock management easier, and planning more efficient.
Key benefits include:
✔ Faster servicing with all required parts in one package
✔ Improved preventive maintenance planning
✔ Reduced downtime through quick access to genuine parts
✔ Better inventory control across fleets or individual units
The Konecranes Spreader Service Box is now available with an additional 20% discount.
2. Upgrade your Konecranes Lift Truck control system for improved reliability and safety
Older systems such as the MDL2 are now obsolete and no longer supported, making repairs more difficult, slower, and increasingly unreliable. Upgrading to the MD4 control unit helps improve operational safety, increase reliability, and reduce the risk of unexpected breakdowns.
The MD4 features a modern, user-friendly interface with a larger display, easier software support and updates, plus integrated functions such as reverse camera display — removing the need for extra cabin screens.
By upgrading, operators can reduce downtime, simplify maintenance, and help future-proof equipment performance.
The Control System Upgrade is now available with an additional 15% discount.
3. Extend tyre life with Konecranes Tire Saver
Konecranes Tire Saver helps reduce tyre wear and operating costs by minimising stress on steering tyres — one of the major maintenance costs in lift truck operations.
The system works by slightly increasing the turning radius in applications where tight manoeuvring is not essential, helping tyres last longer while also improving productivity and reducing rubber waste.
This simple mechanical retrofit can be fitted to Konecranes forklifts, container handlers, and reach stackers, helping operators maximise the value and lifespan of their existing fleet.
Konecranes Tire Saver is now available with an additional 20% discount.
