Port Houston is adding to its large Konecranes<\/a> RTG fleet with an order for 16 hybrid Konecranes<\/a> RTGs.<\/p>\n

The deal was booked in Q1 2025 and delivery is scheduled for H1 2026. In addition, Konecranes<\/a> Port Services will retrofit eight existing Konecranes<\/a> RTGs currently operating at the port. The retrofits will be completed by Q4 2025.<\/p>\n

Located on the U.S. Gulf Coast, Port Houston is a key hub for international trade and industry. It handles more container traffic than any other port on the Gulf and ranks among the busiest ports in the United States.<\/p>\n

Port Houston has long counted on Konecranes<\/a> RTGs to handle its high-volume traffic. With these new orders, the port will be operating a fleet of 163 Konecranes<\/a> RTGs \u2013 including 73 hybrid models.<\/p>\n

The 16 new hybrid Konecranes<\/a> RTGs, designed for 1-over-6 stacking capacity, will be equipped with advanced Smart Features such as Auto-steering, Stack Collision Prevention and Truck Lift Prevention. Their hybrid power units enable the port to reduce emissions and save on fuel costs.<\/p>\n

The eight retrofits will add the same Smart Features, as well as Gantry Collision Prevention, Auto-Steering and new E-Chains. Carried out by Konecranes<\/a> Port Services, the retrofits will extend the lifetime of an important part of the port authority\u2019s existing Konecranes<\/a> RTG fleet and align them with the latest technology and safety standards.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe trust we\u2019ve built with Konecranes<\/a> played an important role in our decision to make these investments. We work in partnership with the skilled labor who work at our container terminals to determine the best equipment for the operations at Port Houston and Konecranes<\/a> RTGs keep our operations running safely and smoothly. We value the consistent support we receive from Konecranes Port Services and are confident the team is always on hand to help us when needed,\u201d says Nathan Fabian, Director, Port Cranes\u00a0at Port Houston.<\/p>\n

By investing in Konecranes<\/a>\u2019 proven hybrid power technology and modernizing part of its existing container handling equipment, Port Houston is preparing for long-term growth. The high performance of Konecranes<\/a> RTGs and the technical expertise provided by Konecranes<\/a> Port Services enable the port to efficiently scale operations as demand increases.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re very happy to continue supporting Port Houston with these new RTG deliveries and advanced retrofits. The orders reflect the industry-leading strengths of our hybrid RTG technology and the incredible skills of our Port Services team,\u201d says Jussi Sarpio, Director Regional Sales Americas, Konecranes<\/a>, Port Solutions.<\/p>\n
