Kalmar’s RTG automation first
Cargotec’s Kalmar has won a contract to supply eight zero emission rubber-tyred gantry cranes to the Port of Oslo in Sydhavna, Norway.
The E17m order will supplement the Kalmar fleet already in place at the port. Kalmar describes the machines as “the most advanced in the world”; they will be the first RTGs to feature the operator’s patented automated positioning functionality.
On the safety side, the cranes will be delivered with a container stack profiling system to avoid stack collisions.
The RTGs will also feature a complete data transmission system between the control room and the cranes, allowing the terminal to provide an optimum maintenance regime for the equipment.
Delivery will be fulfilled by summer 2015.
