Konecranes Gottwald for Poland

Poland's HES Gdynia Bulk Terminal SP has ordered a Konecranes Gottwald G HMK 6508 B Model 6 mobile harbour crane.

Ordered in the four rope variant, the G HMK 6508 B features a raised tower cab and an extended chassis with an additional axle to cope with special quay loading requirements. In addition to the diesel-electric drive, the crane is equipped to take an external power supply. It will be delivered to the port on the northern coast by the end of the year.

HES Gdnyia commercial director Sonia Florczuk said: “Another HES terminal in the Port of Rotterdam already operates a Konecranes Gottwald Model 6 mobile harbour crane, and it has consistently demonstrated high performance and reliability. Its low cost of ownership and long service life convinced us to invest also in a Konecranes Gottwald mobile harbour crane in Poland. It was also customised for the challenging conditions on the quay at our Gdynia terminal.”

Konecranes regional sales manager Hans-Juergen Schneider added: “With this crane, we are continuing our success story of four rope grab mobile harbour cranes for continuous duty bulk handling. The deal also reflects the good momentum we have seen lately with Baltic Sea customers, who really appreciate our continuous duty bulk handling capabilities and ability to specially outfit machines as needed.”
