Gottwald reports recent sales of two 4-rope mobile harbour cranes for bulk handling to operators in Brazil. Loxus Graneis Ltda in Imbituba (an existing customer) and Vanzin Servicos Aduaneiros Ltda in Rio Grande do Sul (a new customer) have each ordered a "generation 4" HMK 260 EG. Loxus installed a HMK 330 EG in 2003 for hard coal handling and its new crane, scheduled to begin operation in July, will be used mainly for handling pet coke. The existing crane averages >800 tph, said Loxus's manager Luis Augusto Opice.
