Mobile Harbour Cranes – Uncompromisingly Versatile
Maximum mobility, compact design, ready for use at any accessible point in the terminal –
Gottwald's Mobile Harbour Cranes mounted on rubber-tyred chassis are an outstanding feature of
cargo handling:
- designed to handle all forms of
cargo (containers,
bulk, general and project cargoes)
- with radii of up to 56 metres and lifting capacities of up to 200 tonnes to ensure maximum
versatility
- conceived for use in both
universal and
special-purpose terminals.
Ready for Use at any Accessible Point in the Terminal
Gottwald's Mobile Harbour Cranes are adapted to cope with the tough conditions encountered in
ports. The innovative, robust axle concept, which enables all the axles to be individually steered
and includes large tyres and vertical compensation of up to +/- 250 mm, provides the following
benefits:
- easy manoeuvrability through bottlenecks
- easily surmounts obstacles, rails and uneven terrain
- crab steering and remarkably tight turning circle to enable accurate positioning on the
quayside
- safe and reliable travel to the next quay even in storm-force winds.
The Benefits of a Tyre-Mounted Chassis
- Gottwald's Mobile Harbour Cranes offer flexible, high-performance solutions for equipping new
terminals and for extending and refurbishing existing installations.
- Being able to travel the crane quickly and easily to its new site guarantees optimum mobility,
reduces the number of cranes required at the terminal and saves investment costs in rails and other
quayside infrastructures.
- The diesel-electric drive offers not only a high degree of reliability coupled with low
operating and maintenance costs, it also makes the crane independent of external energy sources. As
an option, it is, however, possible to switch over to an external electricity supply.
The Foundation of Success
The proven technology of the Mobile Harbour Crane on a rubber-tyred chassis, introduced to the
market in 1956 by Gottwald as an industry first, forms the basis for the other harbour crane
types,
Portal Harbour Cranes and
Floating Cranes. By early 2008, Gottwald had sold more than 1,200 Harbour Cranes
and commissioned them in around 90 different countries, while continuing to develop the technology,
consolidate and expand market leadership.
