Konecranes wins order for boxhunter RTGs

The RTGs will be delivered to Terport SA’s container terminal located in Villeta i.o San Antonia.

The RTGs on order will stack one-over-five containers high and seven containers wide plus truck lane, with a lifting capacity of around 40 tonnes. They will be fully electric, driven by a cable reel system. And, they will be fitted with an auto-steering feature, which will allow them to be driven on a pre-programmed, straight path.

“The boxhunter RTG is an ideal match for the varied needs of this kind of multipurpose container terminal. You need to be able to jump into the machine quickly, carry out a container move on the fly, jump out again and do something else,” said Jussi Suhonen, Konecranes’ region Americas sales director.

“Boxhunter will allow Terport to handle more container traffic with more flexibility in the same space.”
