The 16-wheel RTG cranes are equipped with active load control with a horizontal fine positioning system and Konecranes’ crane management system. The cranes have a lifting capacity of 40t and can stack one-over-six containers high and six-plus-truck lanes wide. The first RTG cranes will be delivered to TCE EGE in Aliaga in January 2011.

TCE EGE is part of Spain-based operator Grup TCB, which operates more than 20 Konecranes cranes in several of its terminals around the world.

“We are very pleased about this order to TCE EGE,” said Kim Salvén, sales manager at Konecranes. “We started the sales work in Turkey two years ago and this has now paid off.

“Turkey will be one of our focus areas in the future.”
