Tailor-made crane inspections

To ensure the best possible condition of your machines, our qualified engineers carry out tailor-made inspections, which include safety checks, load tests and maintenance programmes according to your requirements – at a location of your choice worldwide.

Regular inspections of your mobile harbour, container, ship or offshore cranes as well as transshipment solutions help you to avoid unexpected downtime and ensure that your machines are always operating at the highest level. In addition, we offer innovative customisations to adapt your cranes to your individual needs and make them even more efficient.

Porto Chibatão sets another milestone with 4 LBS 800

The barge-slewing cranes of type LBS 800 are the largest harbour cranes over floating pier, and the port is the first in the world to feature them in their operations. A special boom length of 66 metres allows the cranes to reach large freighters with a width of up to 23 rows of containers, further supported by a 9.6-metre tower extension for better overview for the crane operators. Performance is enhanced by the inclusion of electric drives for more reliable, high-speed turnover and fewer local emissions, and the cranes can lift up to 104 tonnes.
