CXT UNO 2 and XM light workstation cranes optimise efficiency at its new state-of-the-art plant in Nashik, India.

Based in Hapert, the Netherlands, Apex International manufactures precision flexographic ink-to-plate technology, including anilox rolls and sleeves for narrow and wide-web corrugated, offset and coating applications.

The installation of eight CXT UNO 2 cranes and two XM workstation cranes will be integral to the reliable production at Apex International’s Nashik plant in 2019 to deliver new technologies to diverse industries of India, Middle East, South East Asia and Pacific markets. The Nashik plant – the latest of Apex International’s manufacturing facilities – is a vertically integrated production facility in which the end product – from base material to final engraved product – is produced under one roof.

The installation of CXT UNO 2 cranes there is the latest success for the CXT design in India, where more than 1,500 CXT cranes have been sold over the last 10 years, with particularly good growth in the manufacturing sector, says Konecranes.

Apex International chose Konecranes because of past experience with the company and Konecranes’ global reputation for being safe and reliable, says Dhanaraj Patil, Executive Director, Apex International, Nashik.

“We have a long-standing partnership with Konecranes. All of our plants use Konecranes cranes, including plants in Europe, Brazil and the USA. Our European branch, for example, reported a very good experience with Konecranes. The performance of the cranes has been very good, so, based on that, we went for Konecranes,” said Patil.

“The CXT is known for its efficient use of space under the crane and its excellent hook approaches. Safety is optimised through high-performance brakes, durable wire ropes and remote operation,” said Pankaj Potdar, Assistant Manager, Equipment Sales, Konecranes India.

CXT UNO cranes incorporate features most sought by customers in growing industries, where Konecranes has taken the high quality CXT hoist and redesigned it using the latest slimline components. By selecting only the essential features and core components of the robust, proven technology, Konecranes has been able to create a very cost-efficient crane, without compromising on quality. The CXT UNO draws on Konecranes’ decades of experience in the industry and brings customers greater cost-efficiency and ease of maintenance.
