Germany-based Gottwald Port Technology has recently received the first order for its Generation 5 Harbour Crane Model 4 from Latin America.
Contêineres de Vila do Conde (Convicon), lessee of the container terminal in the Port of Vila do Conde, near Belém, Brazil, has ordered a 100-tonne G HMK 4406 crane with motor grabs for handling containers and different bulk materials.
The crane is scheduled to go into commercial operation in the second quarter of 2009.
Designed in a compact and functional manner, with a maximum lifting capacity of
100 tonnes and a working radius of up to 46 metres, Model 4 extends the existing model range of the Generation 5 in the 100-tonne segment downward. The crane meets the requirements of universal and special terminals and can serve ships up to the Panamax class.
In addition, Model 4 is attractive for terminals that, on account of their size and development potential, are already anticipating larger cargo-handling volumes and increasing annual operating hours for discharging equipment.
