Automatic parking brake: The automatic activation of the parking brake is a promising feature designed to enhance both these aspects, specifically when the vehicle is stationary and the gear is in neutral. This system not only aids in preventing unintended vehicle movement but also ensures a higher level of safety for drivers and pedestrians alike.
Empty seat parking brake: This system is specially designed to prevent vehicle rollaway in situations where the driver has to leave the cabin for other activities, offering them better control and peace of mind.
Force neutral to extend transmission performance: This solution is designed to decrease wear on the transmission and the wet brake discs, activated by pressing directly the brake pedal.
Proportional transport mode: It's an operational functionality designed to enhance safety while transporting a container in an optimal position, reducing axles wear and tear, energy and
fuel consumption, and costs.
Delayed engine shutdown for turbocharger protection: This feature plays a critical role
in protecting the turbocharger of an engine, ensuring peak performance and extending the lifespan of the equipment. This system is essential in maintaining engine reliability and avoiding
costly damage.
Dead map grip: is a crucial safety feature designed to enhance operator security and prevent accidents in various machinery and equipment systems. Its functionality is centered around the automatic deactivation of equipment’s functionalities in case operator is not holding the joystick.
Empty seat engine shutdown: Implementing a mechanism that shuts down the engine when the operator’s seat is empty is an essential safety feature in various industries, aiming to prevent accidents and ensure operational security.
Customized PIN code: It's a simple yet effective way to ensure that equipment parameters remain unchanged unless adjustments are made with adequate expertise and by authorised personnel.
PIN code for attachment: It's a simple yet effective way to ensure that equipment parameters remain unchanged unless adjustments are made with adequate expertise.
Operator login: This feature provides access to the start up of the machine only to authorised personel, ensuring secure and efficient operations.
Verified container weight is becoming a must in many countries, before loading a container onto the vessel or means of transport.
Handle the daily operations in a more efficient way with the complete set of data registered directly in the Terminal Operations System (TOS) or yourKONECRANES.com customer portal. The operation is very easy: just stand still for around 5 secs and tab a button on your MD4 screen to link the weight to that container ID.

Enable seamless communication between machines and customer systems.
The Local IoT interface at TIC 4.0 format with MQTT communication protocol will enable customers to take short-term decisions in near real-time by using the streamed data, have better operation control and seamless workflow.
The system enables the transfer of equipment information and, through the control unit, sends data securely to the customer’s systems, for example: terminal operating system, equipment
container system, terminal management system and terminal logistics system etc.
The installation for this upgrade solution has TRUCONNECT Expert Bundle or its dedicated subscription as pre-requisite to work. This upgrade has been studied and developed for all Generation C lift trucks, with quick installation directly on-site.
Human error - Miscalculations sometimes happen, because nobody’s perfect
With Work Zone - a suite of location-based services designed by Konecranes to improve the safety of lift truck operations, especially in busy, high-traffic environments - you can remotely control lift trucks and their height limitations, speed limits and other safety matters inside computer-defined areas.
Work Zone uses GPS technology to create geofencing – virtual fences around real-world areas. Drivers can see selected alerts on their operating display and you can also send the alerts by SMS or email to chosen recipients
