Liebherr Container Cranes has announced that it has received an order for six rail mounted gantry cranes (RMGs) from the Jubail Commercial Port in Saudi Arabia.
The order, by Sinopec E&C Middle East Co. Ltd. on behalf of Sabic, represents the company’s first supply of rail mounted gantry cranes to the Middle East.
“Traditionally Liebherr have supplied RMGs to intermodal and port terminals in Ireland, UK and in Europe,” said Liebherr Container Cranes’ sales and marketing manager, Gerry Bunyan.
“This delivery of RMGs represents a further expansion of our product range in the region.”
The cranes have a span of 43 metres and can span 14 containers wide and stack 1 over 6 containers high, with a safe working load of 40 tonnes under a telescopic spreader and the lift height over the rail is 21 metres.
Other recent deliveries of RMGs include two cranes to the Port of Southampton and two cranes for Vladivostok, Russia.
