Eco-efficient mobile harbour cranes will help a Cameroonian port operator improve cargo handling capacity.
Régie du Terminal à Conteneurs (RTC) has ordered two Konecranes Gottwald Model 6 Mobile Harbor Cranes to add to its fleet in response to an anticipated increase in the volume of cargo passing through the Port of Douala. The cranes, due to be delivered in August, are expected to improve productivity and efficiency, as well as improve cargo handling capacity.
“Playing such an important part in the local economy, we need to maintain high-quality services for both Cameroonian and international clients,” says Faustin Dingana, Managing Director of RTC Douala. “Our two new Konecranes Gottwald mobile harbor cranes will help us continue to meet increasing customer demand well into the future.”
The two new cranes are Konecranes Gottwald Model 6 Mobile Harbor Cranes in the G HMK 6507 variant. With a maximum radius of 51 m, they can service container vessels up to post-Panamax class. A full range of smart crane features combined with a maximum lifting capacity of 125 t offers high flexibility in handling any kind of cargo including general and even heavy project cargo.
“RTC already operates a fleet of Konecranes lift trucks and mobile harbor cranes, and the fact that they have chosen us again demonstrates how the performance of our cranes helps them reach their productivity and growth objectives,” says Andreas Czwalinna, Regional Sales Manager for Konecranes Port Solutions.
