E-Crane’s growing success in the Scandinavian market

E-Crane, the only Belgian manufacturer of port cranes with subsidiary companies in the Netherlands (E-Crane International Europe) and Ohio, USA (E-Crane International USA), keeps on expanding its market with a brand new 1500 series crane in Sweden for Mälarhamnar AB. This is another success on Scandinavian territory for the company in only two years’ time: in December 2010, the Port of Kokkola, located in mid-west Finland, officially put into service a 2000 series E-crane.

SECOND E-CRANE FOR MÄLARHAMNAR AB The Swedish company Mälarhamnar AB has recently installed its second E-Crane in the port of Västeras, situated in the heart of Sweden’s industrial belt. This is the second machine for Mälarhamnar AB who commissioned a rail-mounted 1500 series back in 2003. The brand new 1500 series E-Crane commissioned late in 2012 is being used to unload Handysize vessels. It can load and unload a large number of different bulk materials and break bulk as well as logs from vessels of up to 10,000dwt. Bulk materials handled include peat, coal, peat, and scrap. The new Equilibrium crane has an outreach of 104ft (31.7m), and a lifting capacity of 17.1 US tons (15.5 metric tonnes). Mounted on a rail-bound gantry, the crane is electrically

powered. Benefits of this setup include smooth crane movement and high operator comfort.
