Finnish Kesla is known worldwide for its timber cranes. It offers cranes with various accesso-ries, including the KESLA Vision cabin and KESLA proC control system. The company has now developed a crane package for the Swedish market to better serve its customers.

“In Sweden a large share of the cranes are sold as a complete package,” says Ari Pirhonen, Business Director, Truck and industrial cranes at Kesla Oyj.

“Now, you can also get a KESLA crane as a complete package. The crane package includes the Olsbergs valve and control system, so Swedish customers can get their KESLA crane with the complete Olsbergs control feel they have wanted. Complementing the package, the Swedish X-Cab is highly customizable to each customer’s needs.”

The new concept is available for the popular 10 and 12-tonne straight-boom KESLA cranes. The cranes come ready-equipped, but most KESLA crane accessories and features are also available as an option for the concept models.

“For example, you can get the stabilizer integrated or separate,” Mr Pirhonen said.

Since both X-Cab and Olsbergs are widely used in Sweden, the aftersales, spare parts, and technical support network are excellent.

Sold by Floby and Alucar The new package is sold by Floby and Alucar, both of which offer customers a complete package to suit their needs.

In addition to the new operating model, Kesla still has an active dealer network in Sweden, offering the entire range of KESLA cranes.
