Gottwald Port Technology, Germany, has received an order from Grenland Havn for a new mobile harbour crane.
This G HMK 4406, a variant of Model 4, is the first of this type to be sold to Norway and can be powered either by the on-board diesel generator or from the terminal's mains.
In this north European country, Gottwald cranes are often powered from the existing mains. The new crane will be mainly handling containers in the Port of Brevik on the south coast of Norway.
This Model 4 crane is the third Gottwald Mobile Harbour Crane ordered by Grenland Havn: in recent years, the company has put two HMK 260 E cranes into service.
Gottwald's Model 4 Mobile Harbour Cranes have lifting capacities of up to 100 tonnes and a maximum radius of 46 metres. This means that the machine is ideally suited to the requirements of universal and special purpose terminals on the one hand and alongside vessels up to Panamax class.
At the same time, Model 4 is attractive for terminals which, on account of their size and development potential, are already anticipating larger cargo-handling volumes and increasing annual operating hours for handling equipment.
