Terex Port Solutions (TPS) is now offering the diesel-electric Terex Gottwald Model 5 harbour crane in a high tower variant in addition to its standard short tower variant. The taller tower is 4.3m taller. As a result, the height of the boom pivot point has been increased from 16.7m to 21m and the viewing height of the crane driver from 22m to 26.3m. Thanks to the modified crane geometry, terminal operators now have a Model 5 crane option that can load and unload vessels up to post-Panamax class with higher container stacks on deck. With the introduction of the new Model 5 harbour crane variant, TPS is responding to feedback from terminal operators throughout the world, said Andreas Moeller, sales director harbour cranes at TPS. "The Model 5 crane was well received by customers from the start. However, several terminal operators also told us that they would like a Model 5 harbour crane that is even more flexible in terms of applications than the crane in the existing tower configuration.
