Follow up crane order

The operator Hans Lehmann KG, said that the second crane will expand its capabilities and availability of ship loading and unloading equipment at the terminal, where it has been working with three Terex reach stackers in operation at the terminal since the end of 2013.

Lehmann managing director, Holger Lehmann, said that the rapid issue of this follow-up order by Lehmann was due to their great satisfaction with the first crane.

“Both the first Terex Gottwald Model 5 mobile harbour crane and the three Terex reach stackers have more than fulfilled our expectations in their first few months. All the machines contribute to improving our performance in container handling and in handling heavy and bulky project cargo. So it is a logical decision to opt for TPS, also with a view to a further expansion of capacities,” he said.

The second crane will also work primarily for Lehmann on the handling of vessels with up to ten container rows, but will also be used on project cargo vessels.

The Model 5, introduced in 2013, is aimed at terminal operators in need of a high-performance harbour crane equipped with the essential capabilities for standard requirements in terms of terminal infrastructure.

It combines the functional and compact design of the medium-sized crane family with the even greater operational capabilities of the large crane family from TPS. As the largest machine of the medium-sized crane family from TPS, the Model 5 crane has an impressive lifting capacity curve with a maximum lifting capacity of 125 t, a wide radius of 51 m and maximum lifting speeds of 120 m/min.
