Konecranes

Sawmill

The sawmill industry is characterised by high intensity, high
flexibility and heavy loads. Looking at a fork lift working in a sawmill
environment is quite amazing. The demands put on the sawmill trucks are
very different from many other operating environments and in a way very
unique. Therefore it is of utter importance for us as a manufacturer to
be able to offer customized solutions to the end users. In sawmills
forklifts are often used for a multitude of tasks e.g. working in
warehouses, loading trailers, transporting timber etc. Performing such a
wide variety of tasks the machine must be able to meet a number of
requirements e.g. width and height restrictions but at the same time be
able to offer a significant lift height. It must travel long distances
in varied terrain which calls for a powerful driveline. It must be able
to ensure that the end product is not damaged when loaded on trailer by
using e.g. a fork levelling system and so on.

Konecranes Lifttrucks have a number of core values and among these you
will find; high performance, high reliability & quality and flexible
customer solutions. We believe that our core values provide a solid
platform for us to be able to meet the specific demands in the sawmill
industry. The core values will also help us in our constant strive to
help our customers improve their efficiency in their operations.
