Konecranes<\/a> has received an order for 26 rubber-tired gantry (RTG) cranes from the South Carolina Ports Authority (SCPA) in Charleston, South Carolina, USA. The cranes will be delivered to SCPA\u2019s Wando Welch Terminal in the Port of Charleston and Inland Port Greer. Deliveries will take place in 2019 \u2013 2020. When the 26 new RTGs are operational, the SCPA will operate a fleet of 81 Konecranes<\/a> RTGs.<\/p>\n

The South Carolina Ports Authority (SCPA) owns and operates public seaport facilities in Charleston, South Carolina and inland terminals in Greer and Dillon, South Carolina.<\/p>\n

Twenty-four of the new RTGs will be delivered to the SCPA\u2019s Wando Welch Terminal to support operation modernization plans and increase container yard capacity. Inland Port Greer will receive two of the new cranes to support its continuing volume growth.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis makes our 6th and largest RTG order with Konecranes<\/a> since 1998.\u00a0 We continue to return to Konecranes<\/a> as their RTGs have proven to be best in class for their quality construction, operating characteristics and long-term serviceability.\u00a0 Konecranes also provides excellent technical and maintenance support from their local facilities.\u00a0 We look forward to building on our already strong partnership with Konecranes<\/a>\u201d, says\u00a0Stevenson E. Kemp, Jr., PE Senior Director, Terminal Strategy, Facility Operations and Maintenance.<\/p>\n

\"\"

The RTGs will be similar to these units for the Port of Houston Authority.<\/p><\/div>\n

\u201cOur relationship with the South Carolina Ports Authority is getting stronger. I\u2019m pleased to see their continued trust in us in the form of this significant order,\u201d says Jussi Suhonen, Regional Sales Director Americas, Port Solutions, Konecranes.<\/p>\n

The RTGs on order have a lifting capacity of 50 tons while stacking 1-over-5 containers high and six plus truck lane wide. They will be equipped with Konecranes<\/a>\u2019 Active Load Control, which eliminates container sway to increase container handling performance. They will also be equipped with the Auto-steering and Truck Lift Prevention features, and they will have built-in readiness for special features like Stack Collision Prevention and Auto-truck Guiding.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
