FINLAND's
Konecranes has received an order for 15
rubber tyre gantry (RTG) cranes to be delivered to three container
terminals operated in West Africa by Bollore Africa Logistics.
Two of these terminals, the Togo Terminal in Lome,
which received four RTGs and the Benin Terminal in Cotonou, Benin
which will receive five are new Konecranes RTG customers.
Six RTGs will be delivered to Bollore's container terminal in
Pointe Noire, Congo, which already operates Konecranes RTGs.
"We are delighted to be part of Bollore's growth in
Africa, adding the terminals Benin Terminal and Togo Terminal to the list of
container terminals operating Konecranes RTGs in West Africa," said
regional sales director Antoine Bosquet.
The 15 RTG cranes will be equipped with the Konecranes
Smarter Cabin offering improved ergonomics, visibility and safety. They will
also have advanced Konecranes technology such as auto-steering, which keeps the
crane on a pre-programmed, straight driving path and variable speed engine and
diesel fuel saver technology.
The RTG container positioning systems will be connected
to the customers' terminal operating systems ensuring correct, real-time
container positioning and an accurate inventory. The RTG cranes will also be
equipped with TRUCONNECT Remote monitoring, enabling remote diagnostics for
maintenance purposes.
The hydraulics-free, 16-wheel RTGs will have a lifting
capacity of 40 tons stacking one-over-five containers high and 7 plus truck
lane wide.
