Sassnitz-Mukran, May 28, 2018 - As soon as it reached Mukran Port, it was in the middle of action - the description refers to LHM 400 Litronic. Shortly after the mobile harbor crane had rolled independently from the ship coming out of Stade, it was already lifting containers from a ship to the terminal. With a capacity of 104 tonnes, the crane is ideal for such and even heavier jobs. In the future, it will be used for Mukran Port Terminals, especially at Berths 8 and 9, but also at Berth 10. The port has deliberately chosen a flexible model that can be used for both hook and grab operations.  The last option enables handling of bulk cargo such as gravel. With a total height of 49.8 meters and a weight of 390 tons, the crane will shape the image of the port in the future.

Sassnitz-Mukran, February 22, 2017 - Offshore logistics = heavy load logistics. An efficient port infrastructure is required for the increasing wind turbines (WT) with their components, which include, among others, transition pieces, rotor blades or tower segments.
