ensure optimal performance and turnover. Two of the ordered cranes will be the first electric transloading cranes of the TCE type to be produced and delivered to the customer.

“MacGregor was chosen to supply the cranes based on our experience with their quality and productivity,” said Winarto Asnim, CEO of PT Karya Teknik Utama. “In addition, we have a history of successful business together and would like to continue building this relationship that weighs a lot on trust.”

Canaveral acquiring second LHM 600

PORT CANAVERAL AGREED LATE last year to purchase another mobile harbor crane from the Liebherr Group to serve the port’s growing cargo operations. The LHM 600 will be based on the updated generation of Liebherr mobile harbor cranes. Digital enhancements, a modernized cabin, and improved lifting height are among the crane’s benefits welcomed by Port Canaveral.

The second LHM 600 purchased by Port Canaveral is built for the future. It boasts a contemporary exterior design and is more digitally advanced and efficient. Assistance and partial automation systems are made possible by a sophisticated crane control system, evolved sensor integration, and digital information transfer. It will be Port Canaveral’s second mobile harbor crane to be deployed. In early 2019, the port put into service its first Liebherr mobile harbor crane of type LHM 600.

The forthcoming crane will have a lift capability up to 154 tons and a jib length of 61 meters. Its 20-container reach will accommodate containers stacked nine high on deck—an upgraded handling capability from the first crane.

Port Canaveral is already familiar with Liebherr mobile harbor cranes. The LHM 600 that started its work in early 2019 has been instrumental in heavy-lifting operations for the port. In Fiscal Year 2020, the current LHM 600 already lifted a record number of boosters for space projects. With the upcoming LHM 600, the outreach ability has been upgraded from 58 to 61 meters.

The MLC300 VPC delivers unprecedented lifting performance with the strongest load charts in its class. A selferect mast cylinder and other features reduce set-up time. Manitowoc’s proprietary Variable Position Counterweight technology actively engages all counterweight and eliminates the need for passive carbody weights—weight that can now be added to the upperworks to increase capacity while retaining performance and on-site mobility. The result is dramatically reduced transport configuration and better center of gravity for reduced ground bearing pressures.

In addition to the VPC, the optional VPC-MAX attachment offers the ability to further increase the load chart, as well as boom and jib combination lengths. The VPC-MAX attachment increases the MLC300’s max load moment and offers more compact tailswing, delivering greater lifting capacity in a smaller work environment. With VPC-MAX, the counterweight movement is dictated by forward movement changes, so the counterweight re-positions itself automatically as forward movement occurs, based on load lift, boom length, jib length, and load radius.

Rick Mikut, ALL’s crawler crane division manager, says the acquisition continues ALL’s pledge to have the most up-to-date, best-maintained fleet.

The new equipment, expected for delivery in early summer, will be strategically deployed across ALL’s national footprint.
