A telescopic slewing spreader with its own slewing device will allow “accurate positioning and stacking” of 20, 30, 40 and 45ft containers without changing the spreader. It said “that results in significant cost saving and time reduction for loading/discharging trains and trucks.”
The crane will be equipped with a hook beam for handling parcel goods.
This is the second crane that has been manufactured by the Kaliningrad crane builder for Sakhalin, the first one was delivered in 2000.
The partly-assembled crane (major units and components) will be shipped by railway to the Vanino port, then by ferry to Kholmsk, where the crane will be fully assembled and tested. The crane will be operational later this year.
