Konecranes<\/a> has received an order for four rubber-tired gantry (RTG) cranes from GCT Canada Limited Partnership for its GCT Deltaport facility located in Port Metro Vancouver, Canada. Destined for the country\u2019s flagship container terminal, this will be Konecranes\u2019 first RTG delivery to the West Coast of Canada. The cranes will be delivered fully-erect in the spring of 2016.<\/p>\n

The CSA-approved, hydraulics-free Konecranes RTGs on order are 16-wheel machines with a lifting capacity of 40 LT, lifting 1-over-5 high and 7-plus-truck lane wide. They will be equipped with a Tier 4f diesel genset and Konecranes\u2019 Diesel Fuel Saver technology. The RTGs will also be equipped with Konecranes\u2019 Active Load Control system, which eliminates container sway to increase container handling performance.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter extensive investigation of RTG suppliers and configurations, Konecranes\u2019 16-wheel RTGs were selected. We believe the solution offers our operations the optimal balance of safety, performance, and quality to best service our customers,\u201d said Eric Waltz, president of GCT Canada.\"Aerial<\/a><\/p>\n

Each Konecranes RTG will have a Crane Management System (CMS) that will be linked with a Remote CMS system in GCT Deltaport\u2019s central maintenance building. This will allow simultaneous monitoring of all the cranes with implications for improving maintenance. Additional hardware will be installed in the cranes to enable communication between the cranes and GCT Deltaport\u2019s Terminal Operating System (TOS).<\/p>\n

\u201cThis order is a clear sign that our relationship with global container terminals is deepening,\u201d said Jussi Suhonen, sales director, region Americas, Konecranes\u2014port cranes. \u201cI\u2019m very pleased that GCT Canada selected us, and I am proud that our cranes will help to power the growth of Canada\u2019s primary Pacific Gateway.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
