Liebherr in Italian RTG order
Liebherr Container Cranes has handed over four electric rubber tyre gantry cranes (ERTG) to customers in Italy.
One ERTG has been delivered to Salerno Container Terminal (SCT), controlled by Gallozzi Group, while three have been delivered to Consorzio Napoletano Terminal Containers, Naples (Conateco), an MSC company.
The cranes have a hybrid powertrain, operating on both diesel and electricity via cable reeling drum. This offers emission free container handling when connected to the grid and is said to deliver substantial energy savings through onboard power regeneration.
The ERTG delivered to SCT will work container stacks ten wide and six high and is among the largest of RTGs delivered by Liebherr. It is the latest Liebherr machine to be delivered to the terminal, joining four mobile harbour cranes and six reachstackers already at the port. The ERTG delivered to Conateco is the first Liebherr order for the company.
The new Liebherr RTGs are set to streamline operations, improve cargo handling capacity, and contribute to the economic growth of the ports’ hinterlands and of southern Italy and beyond.
