Konecranes launches new design Noell straddle carrier

Konecranes has launched a prototype of its new-design Noell straddle carrier which can give customers zero tailpipe emission operations due to its complete set of power options. 

Hybrid and battery operation are now available, and hydrogen operation will become available in the future if hydrogen infrastructure develops as expected. 

Additionally, every power option is retrofittable and swappable which is important because historically, retrofitting straddle carriers with new power systems has rarely been economically viable.
