Discover three Konecranes upgrade solutions designed to keep lift trucks performing at their best – with less downtime, smarter maintenance and lower operating costs!

1. Control System Upgrade
The Control System Upgrade replaces the obsolete MDL2 system with the latest MD4 technology. Available for Konecranes lift trucks equipped with an MDL2 master display, the upgrade provides a modern display, updated software and improved support – helping reduce the risk of long waiting times for repairs.

2. Extended Spreader Uptime Kit
Designed for Konecranes reach stackers fitted with ELME 817 Classic and ELME 817 INN spreaders, this kit supports scheduled twistlock maintenance every 5,000 operating hours. It includes four twistlock kits and the required wear pads, helping reduce spreader-related downtime and make maintenance easier to plan.

3. Tire Life Extension
This upgrade helps tackle steering tyre wear by limiting the maximum steering angle where tight manoeuvring is not required. Reduced tyre scrub can mean longer tyre life, fewer tyre-related stoppages, less rubber waste and lower operating costs.

Together, these three Konecranes solutions offer practical ways to improve equipment reliability, extend component life and keep lift trucks working productively for longer.

Interested in upgrading your equipment? Contact the Paterson Simons Parts team with the serial number(s) of your lift trucks for a tailored package offer.

Discounts are available!

Terberg's first electric 4×4 Tugmaster enters commercial Ro-Ro service.

CLdN has introduced the first fully electric four-wheel-drive Terberg RT253EV Tugmaster into its Ro-Ro operations at the Port of Zeebrugge, marking an important milestone in the transition to zero-emission terminal equipment.

The vehicle entered service on 29 July 2026, supporting CLdN's daily ferry operations between Zeebrugge and the United Kingdom.

Designed for demanding Ro-Ro applications, the RT253EV delivers the power and traction required to tow heavy trailers up vessel ramps while producing zero tailpipe emissions, reducing noise and improving operator comfort.

The global market for four-wheel-drive Ro-Ro terminal tractors is highly specialised, making Terberg's fully electric 4×4 Tugmaster a significant development for operators seeking to reduce emissions without compromising performance.

The RT253EV features a transmission-free electric drivetrain with regenerative braking technology, improving energy efficiency while reducing brake wear and maintenance. It builds on more than a decade of Terberg's experience in electric terminal tractor development.

Initially operating alongside CLdN's existing diesel fleet, the RT253EV will help evaluate electric 4×4 terminal tractor performance in one of the Ro-Ro sector's most demanding environments as part of CLdN's wider fleet renewal and decarbonisation programme.

🇫🇷 Terberg met en service son premier Tugmaster électrique 4×4 pour les opérations Ro-Ro.

CLdN a mis en service le premier Terberg RT253EV Tugmaster 100 % électrique à quatre roues motrices au port de Zeebrugge, marquant une étape importante dans l'électrification des équipements portuaires.

Conçu pour les opérations Ro-Ro exigeantes, le RT253EV offre de hautes performances, zéro émission à l'échappement, un niveau sonore réduit et un meilleur confort pour l'opérateur. Équipé d'une transmission électrique avec freinage régénératif, il améliore également l'efficacité énergétique tout en réduisant les besoins de maintenance.

Le véhicule sera exploité aux côtés de la flotte diesel existante de CLdN afin d'évaluer les performances des tracteurs de terminal électriques 4×4 dans des conditions d'exploitation réelles.
