April 8, 2014
Today, in occasion of before the two days of exhibition event TOC Container Supply Chain Asia that is in development to Marine Bay Sands Hotel of Singapore, the Finnish group Konecranes has introduced a new crane to carroponte on rubber for handling of the container that specifically is planned for markets emergent. The company has announced that Boxhunter completely constitutes a new type of Rubber Tyred Gantry Crane (RTG) that will give to Konecranes the access to a new segment of market and that will allow to maintain a constant level medium of performances, pairs at least 15 handlings of container to the hour.
The explained Finnish company that, rather than to try to simplify the project of an existing RTG or to transform it with a series of modifications, a new type of crane is decided to realize from zero that will constitute an important innovation for a market, as that harbour one, that it is essentially conservative. "We have made - the vice president Port Cranes has asserted it, Mika Mahlberg - concentrating on the operator and the interface user to us who we supply the operator. The idea that pushed to us has been that to modify, literally, its perception of the things and to carry the operator to the level of the ground, to the center of the activity of impilaggio and handling of the containers". "Usually - Mahlberg has remembered - in a RTG the cabin of the operator is found in the advanced part of the crane. This is perfect for the visibility on the container, but with the adulterated technology video today it is not more essential. We have decided to move to the level of the ground also the majority of the machinery used for the guide of the cart of sliding and for the operations of raising. This simplifies the total structure in very meaningful way and equips also this means of a new facility of access, that it is important from the point of view of the service".
Konecranes has evidenced that, in spite of a simpler structure, Boxhunter incorporates systems the advance video and technology laser that is developed for the which adulterated produced ones more of own means range.
