PSA Penn Terminals in Philadelphia has purchased a Liebherr Ship To Shore container crane, adding to a previous order for two such units in 2018.
The new 66 tonne capacity crane has a maximum lift height of 35 metres, with a forward reach of 48 metres, a span of just under 18.3 metres and a back reach of 15 metres. The new crane will be built at the company’s plant in Ireland and delivery early next year.
