Liebherr Container Cranes Ltd. has announced the successful delivery and installation of 3 RTG cranes in Termont Montreal, Canada.

The RTGs are of 16 wheel configuration, stack one over five containers high and span six containers plus a truck lane.

The supply of these cranes to Termont Montreal brings the total number of Liebherr RTG’s operating at the facility to eleven.

Speaking after handover, Gerry Bunyan, sales and marketing manager at Liebherr Container Cranes explained that this level of repeat business from a client is nothing new.

“Since Liebherr started making container cranes in 1967, we have always had a large amount of repeat business. This has become particularly noticeable in recent years, with many of our clients continuing their long partnership with Liebherr, and newer clients placing repeat orders,” he said.

“When it comes to choosing port equipment, our clients have made a distinct move to evaluating the cost of a crane over its entire life time,” added Bunyan.

Liebherr have also previously supplied Termont with two ship-to-shore cranes.

Termont Montreal is located at Maisonneuve Terminal in the Port of Montréal, Québec.
