Gottwald Port Technology, a subsidiary of Demag Cranes, has expanded its current range of Generation 5 Harbour Cranes. As the successor to the Generation 4, HMK 260, the new Model 3 takes over the slot as the entry-level model for the 100-tonne class in Generation 5.
"This crane has improved working speeds and a greater radius than its predecessor, and it also features innovative drive technology and design, such as the 3-phase-powered hoist and slewing gear units and a broad range of options, including an energy-efficient hybrid drive.
"All in all, Model 3 is a handling machine that is designed to combine high handling rates with excellent efficiency, which means that it is an ideal extension to the existing family of Generation 5 machines," explains Dr. Mathias Dobner from Demag Cranes
After Gottwald initially launched its Generation 5 family of cranes at the beginning of 2006, consisting at that time of models 6, 7 and 8,the company added its compact Model 4 at the end of 2007.
Gottwald's Generation 5 Harbour Cranes offer maximum lifting capacities of 200 tonnes, working radii of up to 56 metres and are constructed using modular design principle for use as: mobile harbour cranes, portal cranes, floating cranes on barges, combinations of portal and floating cranes and pedestal-mounted cranes.
