Would you like to increase productivity, instantly?

 

Improve your Reach Stackers productivity with Flow Drive – an innovation from Konecranes! Here’s how:

What is flow drive?

Employing a hydromechanical variable transmission (HVT), Flow Drive efficiently controls power at low speeds, resulting in reduced wear, lower fuel consumption, and emissions for a robust engine that sustains optimal performance. The implementation of Flow Drive can lead to extended intervals between refueling and decreased maintenance, ultimately elevating the productivity of your Konecranes Reach Stackers significantly.

The direct benefits of Flow Drive from Konecranes result in fuel savings, increased efficiency & economical operation:

  • Fuel Savings: Achieve a reduction of up to a 35% in fuel consumption and up to a 35% decrease in CO2 emissions
  • Smooth and Economical Operation: Flow Drive results in lower emissions while improving performance, precision, and safety.
  • Experience reduced maintenance costs (fewer gear stages and lower engine RPM)
  • Increased Productivity and Efficiency: Faster acceleration compared to standard machines
  • Seamless integration of full performance and ease of driving: Dynamic at low speeds, yet powerful at high speeds, with diminished wear and noise.
  • Increased productivity with extended intervals between refueling.
