Extra engine shut down Konecranes

OPTIMISE YOUR FUEL SAVINGS WITH KONECRANES AUTO ENGINE SHUTDOWN!

In News, News Snippets by Alisa Evans

Save Fuel with Konecranes Auto Engine Shutdown:

Konecranes Intelligent Electronic Machine Control (EMC) system continuously monitors key components and functions of your lift truck, offering programmable settings tailored to your specific needs. It integrates seamlessly with Konecranes’ TRUCONNECT Remote Monitoring and reporting system.

As part of the EMC Master system, the Auto Engine Shutdown is an optional feature that helps reduce fuel consumption and CO2 emissions, while also extending the time between engine maintenance intervals.

This feature automatically shuts down the engine when the lift truck idles for an extended period and restarts it as needed. When the truck is in neutral and the brake is released, the “start-stop” mode is activated, shutting off the engine. To restart, simply engage the gear or use the brake. If stationary power is needed for lifting, using the lever or joystick will restart the engine. Learn more from Konecranes here.

 

Engine Shutdown Extra Function: Maximise Fuel Savings

Take your fuel efficiency even further with Konecranes’ Engine Shutdown Extra Function.

Building on the auto start-stop feature, this enhancement allows you to shut down your engine based on key factors like:

– Engine temperature (high/low)
– Oil pressure

 

How It Works:

When activated, the system monitors temperature and pressure, alerting the operator via a pop-up. The operator can then choose to:

– Continue operations
– Shut down the engine

This proactive approach supports longer engine life, reduced downtime, streamlined operations, and lower emissions.

 

Compatibility:

The Engine Shutdown Extra Function is available on all Konecranes Generation C forklifts and empty container handlers with the MD4 master display.
