Graviti delivers self-discharging containers
Bulk handling manufacturer Graviti has delivered six self-discharging containers of its own design to Riga Central Terminal, Latvia.
Riga Central Terminal ordered six SDC40 units, upgrading to a larger capacity from the SDC30 units it had previously tested and rented for two years, before taking-up its option for the acquisition of the units. Each container operates using electrical power from its own battery. The floor opens and closes hydraulically and can be remotely operated. With a fully charged battery, 500 cycles of loading/offloading are guaranteed. Ability to self-unload means secure direct loading of dry cargo from warehouse to ship’s hold.
