Spanish crane company Grualia has successfully deployed a 40t crane at the Port of Valencia’s new intermodal terminal.
The terminal supports the Iberian Peninsula’s first Rolling Motorway allowing trailers to travel between Italy and Madrid via train. The inaugural service began in July 2024.
The Automated Rail Mounted Gantry Crane (ARMG) supplied by Grualia features inverter drivers for all movements, a rotating trolley, and the capability to handle both 20-foot and 40-foot ISO containers and cranable trailers with a piggyback spreader.
The crane has no operator cabin. It is controlled fully remotely, either manually or automatically with automation and operator supervision. The gantry span is 29.3m, lifting capacity is 40t and lifting height under the spreader 11.4m.
The crane was manufactured at the Grualia’s facilities in Murcia, Spain.
“Given the impact that this particular gantry crane is having, we expect an increase in requests for similar products,” a company spokesperson said.
“We are interested in all sectors where we can help with the supply of our products, including cranes of all types. The need to improve efficiency and quality makes the search for new suppliers a reality,” Grualia added.
