HELSINKI (Reuters) - Finnish crane maker Konecranes (>> Konecranes Abp) on Friday said its proposed deal with U.S. Terex is set to go forward after China's Zoomlion (>> Zoomlion Heavy Industry Sci & Tch Co Ltd) dropped its rival bid.

"We've reached the result we wanted, and we are very pleased," chief executive Panu Ruotila told Reuters.

Konecranes agreed this month to buy Terex' crane business for ports and factories, but Terex had the right to back out of the deal for a fee this month in case it agreed with Zoomlion on a sale of Terex as a whole to Zoomlion.

Shares in the company rose 5 percent in early Helsinki trade.
