Phoenix LEDs for terminal RTGs
Phoenix Products Company Inc. has supplied its most innovative LED fixtures to illuminate RTG cranes for terminals in Houston, Texas, USA and Lomé, Togo in Western Africa.
Phoenix has supplied its ModCom 300W LED floodlights for eight RTGs operating at the Barbours Cut Terminal at the Port of Houston. Each girder requires only three ModCom Hi’s with customised spot optics, while two of the same ModCom Hi’s are mounted on the trolley.
Ryan Hertel, global manager for ports & terminals, Phoenix, said: “We are proud to partner with the Port of Houston Authority and Lomé Container Terminal to support their pursuit of operational efficiency and greater sustainability. LED technology has opened up a lot of doors for terminal facilities like these and allowed them to maximise their resources.”
The Port of Houston Authority also took advantage of Phoenix’s recently introduced EcoMod™ LED Floodlights, engineered specifically for the demands of port handling equipment. A second shipment of three RTG cranes will be delivered to the Bayport Terminal in early 2014 and will be among the first RTG’s operating with EcoMod fixtures installed.
Meanwhile, Lomé Container Terminal in Lomé, Togo will receive twelve new RTG cranes illuminated with Phoenix EcoMod LED Floodlights. There will be twelve EcoMod 150W’s installed on each crane – four on each girder and four on the trolley.
Lomé Container Terminal expects reduced energy usage over the previously used 400W HID fixtures.
