Wallenius Wilhelmsen enters into an agreement with Qube Holdings, Australia’s largest logistics provider. The 18-25t Konecranes E-VER is intended


for heavy-duty industrial applications, with low energy consumption and zero tailpipe emissions. Manufactured with clean energy, the lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery pack fuels the truck’s electric motors. Easily adaptable to the local power grid,


Wallenius Wilhelmsen. In other news, due to growing demand


for low-carbon solutions, Konecranes has introduced a heavy-duty version of its flagship E-VER electric forklift for lifting capacities of 18-25 tons. The new range of lift trucks is part of Konecranes commitment to power up for the future and electrify its entire lift truck fleet by the end of 2026. Konecranes says its E-VER electric


forklift has been making waves in lift truck markets with intense customer interest and excellent feedback. Now an increase in capacity to 18-25 tons allows it to add significant strength to an already innovative system design, giving the E-VER wider versatility for tough applications in heavy industries such as steel, mining and ports. “Higher capacity on the E-VER is the


next step on the road to zero tailpipe emissions across all of our lift trucks portfolio. As the global market transitions to carbon neutrality, an even broader environmental responsibility is clear. We have a product road map to deliver the right products at the right time, paving the way to a decarbonized and circular world by eliminating emissions in the entire value chain from production to usage and eventually enabling repurposing and efficient recycling,” said Jeffrey Stokes, director, Product and Technology Management, Lift Trucks, Konecranes.

it allows fast charging under an hour and top-ups from braking energy during busy work shifts, and slower charging when not in use. A combination of high voltage and low current reduces energy consumption and losses, allowing the truck to use up to 90% of available energy. When no longer able to hold enough charge to run the motors, the battery can be repurposed as a power reserve at charging stations, or a backup power supply if regular sources fail. At the end of its useful life cycle, Li-ion batteries can be taken apart for recycling.


Optimized weight distribution gives


the Konecranes E-VER electric forklift smooth, reliable operation and easy maneuverability in all kinds of demanding industrial environments. Powerful motors lift fast and accelerate quickly, even when fully loaded on a slope. Cabin ergonomics lower noise and vibrations and offer the operator a wide, unobstructed view of the work area, increasing comfort and safety. The truck is equipped with safety features, including a battery management system (BMS), a thermal management system (TMS) that controls the battery and always keeps it at the right temperature, and a protective frame around the battery to prevent physical damage in the event of a collision. Redundant sensors throughout the machine provide information for faster analysis and safer functioning.
