Baltkran to supply another container crane for the Southern Urals | |||||
|
Baltkran will deliver a double girder container crane for an intermodal terminal in Chelyabinsk.
This new container crane equipped with a telescopic slewing spreader will handle about 50 thousand TEU a year. Capacity under the spreader is 41 t; lifting height is 2+1. Frequency inverter drive control assures smooth and safe movements as well as economic use of electric energy due to optimal under-load operation. This will lead to reducing costs for handling one container and a crane owner will not have to increase station capacity. A portal of the container crane is divided into modules that can be transported by conventional rail platforms and trucks. Optimal weight of the crane structure will allow not to use expensive assembly equipment during erection and to reduce the period of erection. The crane is equipped with mechanism for silent operation within city limits. The delivery of the crane is scheduled for a third quarter of 2011. The crane will be commissioned by team of Balkan’s technical service. “Baltkran had already delivered four container cranes, several dozens of gantry, overhead and portal cranes with different capacity for oil and gas, metallurgical, transport and other industries of the Southern Urals” said E.D. Kochetkova, vice-president of Baltkran JSC.
