New Liebherr STS cranes to Australia

Liebherr Container Cranes will supply two ship to shore container cranes to Flinders Adelaide Container Terminal in Australia.

The ship to shore cranes have an outreach of 50 metres and a safe working load of 65 tonnes under twin lift spreader and 80 tonnes under hook beam. Maximum lift height is 38 m, span is 25.3 m and back reach is 20 m.

Peter Cheers, Flinders Adelaide Container Terminal general manager, said, “We conducted rigorous supplier evaluations as part of our procurement process and assessed this in-line with our long-run planning for the terminal. The post-panamax Liebherr cranes were the best match for our requirements and will allow us to maximise the flow-on benefits for our customers.”

The contract for the two cranes is part of a 30 year plan to increase service levels at the Port Adelaide Terminal, a company spokesperson said.
