Konecranes has won a contract to upgrade to the reactor hall overhead crane at the Oskarshamn Nuclear Power Plant in Sweden. The crane plays a crucial role in servicing the reactor and managing the removal of spent fuel casks, complying with stringent regulatory standards. The order was booked in Fourth Quarter 2023.

The upgrade of the legacy Konecranes crane not only ensures safety compliance but also meets the evolving regulatory requirements in the nuclear industry. The contract has a two-year timeline, during which Konecranes will undertake engineering, manufacturing, delivery and installation of the modernization components, including a new 165-ton trolley/hoist. A strong focus on customers and commitment to business growth and continuous improvement make Konecranes a lifting industry leader.

This is underpinned by investments in digitalization and technology, plus work to make material flows more efficient with solutions that decarbonize the economy and advance circularity and safety.
