KONECRANES’ RAILQ 3D – KEEPING CRANES RUNNING
STRAIGHT AND TRUE Konecranes, a lifting equipment specialist, has launched its RailQ 3D crane runway survey programme. The package has been designed to provide highly accurate measurement of crane runway alignment and is backed by comprehensive analysis of cloud- based data.
RailQ 3D uses the latest high- definition laser scanning technology to measure critical aspects of runway systems. Parameters covered by the survey include the relative alignment of runway rails. It also measures the geometry of girders, wheels, guide rollers end trucks and other crane components to provide a comprehensive overview of the condition of material handling equipment. RailQ 3D uses remotely operated data collection meaning
that it is a faster and safer process than traditional survey methods.
Data obtained during the survey is assessed by Konecranes’ experienced engineers, using the company’s proprietary analysis and 3D visualisation software to identify potential crane alignment issues. The findings are used to highlight areas where critical performance and safety factors may be compromised and recommend remedial actions. Undertaking RailQ 3D surveys as part of a scheduled inspection programme for critical lifting equipment helps pinpoint chronic alignment issues, indicating the need for engineered maintenance solutions. Timely corrective action during planned breaks in operating schedules reduces crane downtime and lost production. It also avoids further deterioration of the lifting equipment fault.
RailQ 3D is fully compatible with the company’s on-line customer
portal, yourKONECRANES, facilitating prompt and easy access to comprehensive intelligence on crane performance, maintenance history, asset condition, usage data and agreement details. Using the Konecranes’ TRUCONNECT interface customers can receive alerts and monitor data on service activity, crane performance and spend for single assets or an entire fleet of material handling equipment. Information is updated in real time during service visits by IT enabled technicians, providing customers prompt access to the latest and most comprehensive data, reports and recommendations.
Konecranes’ Customer Experience Manager James Bow said:“The development of RailQ 3D represents a significant investment in state- of-the-art technology, providing a value-added service for our customers. RailQ 3D provides data accuracy unmatched by traditional survey methods. Crane intelligence is available in real time allowing our customers to make informed decisions on maintenance and service activity, to improve safety and performance. It also helps maximise operational time and extend the lifetime of lifting equipment.”

EMCOR UK NAMED AS ONE OF THE UK’S MOST
INCLUSIVE EMPLOYERS EMCOR UK has been recognised by Inclusive Companies as one of the top 50 most inclusive employers in the UK.
The Inclusive Top 50 UK Employers (IT50) is a definitive list of UK- based organisations that promote inclusion across all protected characteristics, throughout each level of employment within their organisation. This is the 8th year of the IT50 and it has quickly become one of the UK’s primary and leading D&I accreditations.
EMCOR UK has invested heavily in ED&I, including the creation of an executive director role. This

was recognised when EMCOR UK ranked 61st in the IT50 list last year, and rising to 37th this year demonstrates the impact of this continued commitment to ED&I.
Central to EMCOR UK’s commitment is its ED&I strategy, which is aligned to its core purpose, values and selected UN Sustainable Development Goals. Its Creating Balance programme is central to this activity. Colleagues from across the business work together in seven focus groups to formulate ideas and drive activity. Each focus group has an executive sponsor to ensure commitment and contribution from the executive leadership team.
These groups have delivered numerous benefits to the wider
organisation in the last year. Examples include the Ability group which guided EMCOR UK to becoming a Disability Confident Employer, and the implementation of an industry- leading maternity policy to enhance support for women in the workforce.
ED&I goals for 2024 include increasing the number of Black and Ethnic Minority employees in operational and senior leadership roles by 14%, increasing the number of people with a disability employed by EMCOR UK by 14%, and increasing the number of women in senior leadership roles by 25%. EMCOR UK recently announced that Cheryl McCall will take over as CEO from January.
