New £1.7M crane grabs attention at Port of Hull

摘要

Cargo handling capacity at Associated British Ports' (ABP) Port of Hull has received a boost following the delivery of a new £1.7M Liebherr LHM 180 mobile harbour crane. The new crane, which supplements four existing Liebherr mobile harbour cranes as well as a Liebherr mobile excavator crane in King George and Queen Elizabeth Docks in the port, will be used mainly for handling dry bulk cargoes using a 12 cubic metre grab. The crane has the capacity to lift up to 64t of cargo which gives an adaptability and flexibility to handle a wide range of other commodities such as containers, packaged or palletised goods, and project cargoes.
