Terex Port Solutions Supplies 1500th Terex Gottwald Mobile Crane
Terex Port Solutions recently supplied its 1500th Terex Gottwald Mobile Harbour Crane, a G HMK 6407 B, Model 6 four-rope grab variant, to its long-term customer SEA-invest who already has more than 30 cranes in their fleet from the manufacturers Düsseldorf facility before this order. This four-rope grab crane is also the 289th of its kind sold and will be deployed at Antwerp Bulk Terminal (ABT), where it will be handling lead and zinc concentrates.
The celebration crane is a diesel-electric, Generation 5, Model 6 Harbour Crane from Terex Port Solutions’ Large Crane Family, which includes Models 6, 7 and 8. Cranes in the Large Crane Family provide long service lifetimes due to their high classification and high working speeds coupled with impressive handling rates for all types of cargo. They are often the preferred choice due to their short delivery lead-times and the low specific investment costs, which make them an economical alternative to purpose-built handling machines and are, as a result, in great demand by almost all leading bulk-terminal operators the world over.
Model 6, in particular, with some 200 machines sold since its launch in 2006, has developed into a flagship and best-seller for the Generation 5 cranes – the four-rope grab variant alone, the G HMK 6407 B with its 40 t grab curve and A8 classification, being one of the most popular.
