KONECRANES CXT DOUBLE GIRDER CRANES TO SUPPORT VINFAST’S ELECTRIC VEHICLE PRODUCTION
K
onecranes has delivered five 25-ton CXT Double Girder Cranes to VinFast Auto, bringing the total number
of cranes supplied to the Vietnamese automaker to 25. The installment is currently undergoing final testing and commissioning. The new cranes, installed at
VinFast’s latest manufacturing facility, are designed to enhance production capabilities. They feature advanced Truconnect Remote Monitoring, which provides real-time performance and usage data through a network of sensors and connectivity. This allows VinFast to optimize crane operations and ensure greater efficiency and safety on the production floor. “At VinFast, we are committed to collaborating with trusted and capable partners to achieve our production goals and expand into global markets. Konecranes has consistently proven the quality of its material handling solutions, backed by professional support services
and swift responsiveness, helping us maximize production efficiency and elevate operational safety,” said Trinh Van Ngan, deputy CEO of Manufacturing, VinFast. The cranes also include dual hoists on a single trolley and a 120-meter runway, features that allow for seamless integration into VinFast’s production line. To further support the automaker, Konecranes has provided a three-year maintenance contract. VanHuy Mai, country director,
Konecranes Vietnam added that leveraging Konecranes’ global manufacturing facilities allowed for shorter lead times, ultimately benefiting VinFast. Konecranes has also received an order
to supply 8 CXT overhead cranes to PT Beka Wire Indonesia’s manufacturing facility in Subang to support their material handling requirements across all stages of manufacturing, with deliveries and installation scheduled for March 2025.
The order includes three 5-ton
overhead cranes for the galvanizing line, used in both production and assembly, along with three additional 5-ton cranes for the warehouse to handle finished goods and spare parts – all featuring runways nearly 200 meters long. Additionally, two 3-ton overhead
cranes with a 40-meter runway are provided for the pickling area to support the dip and galvanize process. These cranes will be equipped with specialized features, including hot- dip galvanizing of the overhead crane girder structure and hoist components protected with C5 coating for enhanced long-term durability. “Given the demanding nature of our
operations, we needed reliable and durable cranes that can handle the complexities of material handling in our facility. We believe that Konecranes’ products are a right fit for this and help us to ensure a smooth and efficient production flow,” says Sandy Suryadi, MD, PT Beka Wire Indonesia.
