The cranes are designed in the Terex E-RTG variant and are powered with electricity from the terminal’s electricity supply, meaning they do not generator any local exhaust emissions and have low noise emissions.
To enable the cranes to move freely around the terminal for site changes or maintenance purposes, Libra has also ordered three mobile diesel generators which can be used in the cranes, if required, to provide the electricity supply.
TPS’ cranes provide a 40 tonne lifting capacity, have a hoisting height of 21m under the spreader and can stack standard one-over-six. They have a span of 26.5m, allowing them to cover seven rows of containers and a truck lane.
The cranes will be shipped to Brazil, already assembled, from the TPS plant in Xiamen, PR China. TPS’ Brazilian distributor, Terminal Full Dealer (TFD), who facilitated the order, will be responsible for unloading, commissioning and hand-over on site.
