Gottwald reinforces its position in Germany

The G HMK 7608 has a maximum lifting capacity of 150 tonnes and a maximum radius of 51 m. C. Steinweg has been operating an identical Gottwald Mobile Harbour Crane at this terminal since 2006. The new crane is to carry out commercial operations on Kamerunkai (Cameroon Quay) where Steinweg handles project cargoes, heavy lifts, containers, iron and steel. Both Mobile Harbour Cranes will be able to work in tandem lift operations, allowing them to handle very heavy loads weighing up to 300 tonnes. Ulf Boll, Managing Director of C. Steinweg in Hamburg, commented on this follow-up order: “We are very satisfied with both the efficiency and the reliability of the first crane. For this reason, we decided to stay with Gottwald when it came to expanding our capacity once again.” Giuseppe Di Lisa, Gottwald’s Sales Director, said:”This order from Hamburg along with other sales to German ports demonstrate very clearly that our Generation 5 Harbour Cranes have established a firm footing in the German market. Together with this order from Steinweg, the number of Generation 5 cranes we have sold to German customers has now reached four. All in all, we have sold 49 Mobile Harbour Cranes of various generations and capacities to our home market.”
