Following on from the release of Demag Cranes third quarter financial results last month, which reported strong order book growth for its port technology segment, Gottwald has found a strong demand in the Netherlands.
Verbrugge Terminals took the largest order of two G HMK 6407B four-rope grab cranes, for handling bulk cargo, containers and wood pulp at the Zeeland ports of Terneuzen and Vlissingen, and one G HMK 4406 also for container handling operations at Vlissingen.
Gottwald’s G HMK 6407Bs offer lifting capacities of up to 125t, hoisting speeds up to 120m/min, working radii of 51m and feature cellulose spreaders, remote control, Teleservice and an active dust protection system.
The recently commissioned 100t G HMK 4406 variant model 4 crane has a 46m radius and can work alongside vessels up to post-Panamax class.
Explaining the crane selection for Verbrugge’s terminals, Verbrugge Terneuzen’s managing director Adri Meertens said, “We do not just need high-performance machines for bulk handling but also universally applicable and, as a result, economical cranes to strengthen our fleet.
“Gottwald mobile harbour cranes offer high handling rates, long service lifetimes due to high crane classification, short delivery lead times and low specific investment costs, combined with flexibility in daily operation, as they cannot only work on bulk, but as the need arises, also on other goods. And that’s exactly what we need.”
In March, ZHD Stevedoring started using a G HMK 6407B at the Port of Dordrecht for loading/unloading, separation and stockpiling bulk materials alongside an existing Generation 4 HMK 300 EG.
This crane is fitted with active dust protection. It features a high boom pivot point and cab viewing position, which suit it for work with large vessels. Dynamic brake resistors help to improve fuel efficiency.
Combined Cargo Terminals ordered a G HMK 6407 variant to handle containers and general cargo at its Moerdijk trimodal terminal, with its tandem operation facility also proving a vital asset for project cargo handling at the terminal.
Commenting on the deals, Demag Cranes AG COO and member of the management board, Thomas H Hagen said: “These orders confirm and strengthen our position in the Netherlands, which is one of our most important harbour crane markets. At the same time, these orders for mobile harbour cranes for professional bulk handling focus on our leading role in this sector.”Following on from the release of Demag Cranes third quarter financial results last month, which reported strong order book growth for its port technology segment, Gottwald has found a strong demand in the Netherlands.
