Extreme cranes
A crane especially designed for the extreme climatic conditions of an intermodal terminal in Artem has been ordered from Baltkran.
It will have a special version of a telescopic spreader that can cope with snow or severe wind, and a highly rigid lattice-type structure for the frequent gales. Mechanical and electrical components of the crane and cabin are heated and protected from both moisture and severe frost, with anti-corrosion paints to protect the metal parts of crane from high humidity.
Baltkran is also to supply double girder container cranes with capacity 35 tonnes for the intermodal terminal in Kholmsk on Sakhalin Island. The 2+1 electric model has a 25 metre span, and has a telescopic slewing spreader allowing stacking of 20, 30, 40 and 45ft containers without changing the spreader.
