Konecranes<\/a> has won a contract from the US Navy to deliver a 175-ton portal jib crane to the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard in the State of Washington. The $46 million-order was booked in December and contains options for six additional portal jib cranes over the next seven years. If realized, the total value of the agreement would be around $330 million.<\/p>\n

The crane to be provided is a Konecranes<\/a> tailor-made design, unique with features that allow it to operate on the multiple rail section sizes, straight or curved, located at the Naval base. The portal jib crane is also designed to minimize wheel loads while operating at maximum capacity through the maximum operating range with Konecranes<\/a>\u2019 unique dynamic stability system.<\/p>\n

This design of crane is tailored to the historical shipyard layouts of the US Navy, but could be used globally in other Naval shipyards with similar configurations.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis contract is a testament to past performance as well as our ability to meet customer needs under the most demanding circumstances, and it underscores the confidence customers like the US Navy have in Konecranes to deliver this unique product,\u201d said Steven Waisanen, Vice President in Industrial Equipment at Konecranes<\/a>.<\/p>\n
