The double-box boom structure STS will be manufactured at a TPS site in Xiamen, China. Supplied with power from a terminal’s electricity supply, the low noise cranes will not generate any local exhaust emissions.
Maurizio Altieri, Managing Director of TPS Xiamen said: “In order to support the rapid development of its global business over the long term, HPH has now decided to rely on TPS again. Our cranes combine high productivity with economical total cost of ownership.”
TPS recently supplied seven rubber-tyred gantry cranes to HPH’s Balboa Terminal in Panama.
