Designed to be extremely robust and to deliver outstanding results, Model 8 Harbour Cranes are intended for highperformance applications at peak handling rates – assured by lifting capacities of up to 200 t, working radii of up to 56 m and extremely high hoisting speeds of up to 140 m/min. Added to this are the usual high crane classifications, such as A7 for a 63-tonne grab curve or A8 for a 50-tonne grab curve.
This generously-dimensioned technological concept makes Model 8 cranes the preferred choice for universal terminals handling very heavy loads. In addition, they are ideally suited to the highly intensive, professional handling of bulk materials and containers in special-purpose terminals frequented by the largest vessels where extremely high annual working volumes are achieved. Model 8 cranes are top-of-the-range machines which, in terms of their range of applications and outstanding cargo handling performance, are firmly in the same league as applicationbound purpose-built machinery.
Typical applications include:
- long-term, fast bulk handling with a 4-rope grab at high handling rates of up to 1,800 tph, depending on terminal and operating conditions
- efficient handling of the heaviest of project cargoes thanks to a max. load moment of 4,000 mt
- intensive, fast container handling, including Twinlift operation alongside vessels up to Super Post-Panamax
