He talks to us about Bromma’s flagship product, its electric STS crane spreader and also on the wider issue of electrification in the port equipment market.
Nowadays more than 95% of the yard spreaders Bromma sells are fully electric.
Bromma said that when its electric spreader is in use, almost 90% of the operational energy consumption can be cut, along with the operational carbon footprint.
With electric drives replacing hydraulics, there is much more precise energy consumption.
Mr Heijbel also lends us his wisdom on where he thinks the market is at at the moment and some good advice for port operators and equipment buyers going forward.
