Konecranes<\/a> is in the final stages of delivering four portal jib cranes to the U.S. Navy in Washington State, completing a contract signed in 2017.<\/p>\n

Two 25\u2011ton self\u2011powered jib cranes were delivered to the Navy pier at Bangor in Q1 2024, and the remaining pair is due at Bremerton by June\u202f2025.<\/p>\n

The new jib cranes will support equipment handling operations at the bases. At Bangor, the cranes have replaced aging equipment to improve safety and reliability. The two cranes scheduled for Bremerton will be additions to the existing jib crane fleet, supporting increased operational capacity. The cranes were manufactured in Waukesha, Wisconsin.<\/p>\n

\u201cBoth the Navy Base and Konecranes<\/a> are delighted to see the jibs delivered to their new homes. With the first 2 jibs accepted by the Navy and the final two in process of starting their inspections and testing, we are all motivated to bring this project\u00a0 successfully to its final conclusion,\u201d said Steven Waisanen, Vice President of Nuclear Equipment & Services, Konecranes<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The cranes are self-powered and designed to be transported from barge to land by Self-Propelled Modular Transporters (SPMTs), then transferred by barge to their installation sites. They are engineered to meet Navy-specific operational and safety standards and will be integrated into pier operations at both locations.\u00a0Each unit is built for high-duty performance and includes features to support safe and efficient operation.<\/p>\n

The new jib cranes will support equipment handling operations at the bases.<\/p><\/div>\n

A strong focus on customers, commitment to business growth, and continuous improvement make Konecranes<\/a> a material handling industry leader. This is underpinned by investments in digitalization and technology, as well as efforts to make material flows more efficient with solutions that decarbonize the economy and advance circularity and safety.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
