In addition, Konecranes Port Services will retrofit eight existing Konecranes RTGs currently operating at the port which will be completed before the end of 2025.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe trust we\u2019ve built with Konecranes played an important role in our decision to make these investments,\u201d said Nathan Fabian, director, port cranes at Port Houston.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe work in partnership with the skilled labor who work at our container terminals to determine the best equipment for the operations at Port Houston and Konecranes RTGs keep our operations running safely and smoothly.\u201d<\/p>\n
Efficient handling<\/strong><\/p>\n Located on the U.S. Gulf Coast, Port Houston has long counted on Konecranes RTGs to handle its high-volume traffic. With these new orders, the port will be operating a fleet of 163 Konecranes RTGs in total \u2013 including 73 hybrid models.<\/p>\n The 16 new hybrid Konecranes RTGs, designed for 1-over-6 stacking capacity, will be equipped with advanced Koneccranes Smart Features including Auto-steering, Stack Collision Prevention and Truck Lift Prevention. Their hybrid power units enable the port to reduce emissions and save on fuel costs.<\/p>\n The eight retrofits will add these same smart features, as well as Gantry Collision Prevention, Auto-Steering and new E-Chains. Carried out by Konecranes Port Services, the retrofits will extend the lifetime of an important part of the port authority\u2019s existing Konecranes RTG fleet and align them with the latest technology, environmental and safety standards.<\/p>\n By investing in Konecranes\u2019 hybrid power technology and modernising part of its existing container handling equipment, Port Houston is preparing for long-term growth, plus reducing its carbon footprint.<\/p>\n This contract is part of\u202fthe Ecolifting programme, Konecranes\u2019 vision to reduce its csustomers carbon footprint by eco-optimising diesel drives, hybridisation and embracing fully-electrification.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Port Houston is adding to its large Konecranes RTG fleet with an order for 16 hybrid Konecranes RTGs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":5178,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[33,22],"tags":[1835,2007,1724,215,1655],"sponsor":[],"class_list":["post-5177","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-americas-greenport","category-products-services-greenport","tag-electric-port-equipment","tag-hybrid-port-cranes","tag-hybrid-rtg","tag-konecranes","tag-port-houston"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5177","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5177"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5177\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5179,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5177\/revisions\/5179"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5178"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5177"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5177"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5177"},{"taxonomy":"sponsor","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/sponsor?post=5177"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
