the biggest environmental impact of hoists
Springfield, Ohio comes from the use phase through the
consumption of electricity and through the
indirect impacts of electricity production.
In the case of cranes, the biggest
environmental impact comes from raw
material production, i.e. the production of
steel. We have taken these impacts into
account and continuously seek to improve
steel structure optimization as well as hoist
and crane energy-efficiency in the use
phase.

Raw materials
The product is composed mainly of steel
and cast iron. The charts indicate the
approximate composition of a hoist with
trolley. Proportions may vary slightly,
depending on the size and features of
the hoist and trolley.
This product does not contain asbestos,
ozone depleting substances, PCB or
any other legally banned hazardous
materials. Konecranes Restricted

Delivery to the customer
Product packaging is recyclable and con-
sists of 95 – 96% wood, 3 – 4% plastics
and 1% metals (standard packaging).
Packaging materials comply with the
EU packaging material directive (94/62/
EEC). Wooden material is delivered in
accordance with the ISPM15 standards
of the International Plant Protection
Convention.
Substances List states these legally
banned substances and some other
substances targeted for phase out.
Cranes or hoists do not fall within
the scope of the EU RoHS directive
(2002/95/EC), but we are voluntarily
aiming to follow RoHS requirements.

Attention has been paid to optimizing
packaging sizes to enable efficient ship-
ments and to reusing packaging inter-
nally. Products are transported mainly by
trucks or ships. Transport distances are
minimized by supplying orders from the
factory closest to the customer.

Dismantling and handling

of waste materials
At the end-of-life phase, the hoist can be
dismantled and the materials handled as
described below.
Waste material from hoist installation,
maintenance or dismantling shall be
h handled and disposed of according to lo-
cal regulations. Based on the EU’s waste
hierarchy, the preferred waste handling
methods are, starting with the most
preferable, reuse, recycle as material,
recycle to energy, and, as a final resort,
safe disposal. As waste regulations and
types of available recovery and disposal
methods vary so much regionally, no
general detailed guidance can be given.
Always use licensed waste-handling
companies. In many cases, multi metal
scrap is the available handling method.
Before that, electric parts and lubricants
must be removed and handled sepa-
rately. For more detailed guidance on
dismantling, please refer to the owner’s/
operator’s manual.

Noise emissions
Hoists generate some audible noise during
operation. The total noise level experienced
in the operating area is a combination of the
individual noise sources around the operator.
The main sources of noise from the hoist
arise from its components, vibrating struc-
tures and reflective surfaces. Hoist compo-
nents that generate noise include the hoist-
ing machinery (motor, gears, brakes) and
trolley, bridge and other moving structures
associated with the hoist.
Sound levels of CXT5 (10 t):
The sound emission levels were measured
under a maximum load. The highest values
are given.
Maintenance
Proper maintenance supports hoist efficiency,
safety and performance. Konecranes Service
is present in 150 countries and provides
maintenance services for a large variety of
hoist and crane types. Spare parts are also
available. For more information on service
guidance, please refer to the owner’s/opera-
tor’s manual.
The A-weighted sound power level measured
according to ISO 3747: 89.7 dB
The A-weighted sound pressure level was
measured at a distance of 1 m and the esti-
mated sound pressure level at the operator’s
position was calculated from the A-weighted
sound power level according to EN 15011.
The noise pressure level the operator feels
can be higher or lower depending on the
working site. Experienced noise level can be
higher if, for example, the building structure
resonates heavily or the walls or other sur-
faces at the working site reflect noise toward
the operator.
As technology advances, crane performance
can be improved with modernizations. On
average, mechanical parts last longer, but
updates to, for instance, electrical parts can
bring significant improvements to perfor-
mance. In modernizations, only the worn-out
parts are updated with most of the structure
remaining in use.
