Gottwald for Norway

Offshore logistics provider Saga Fjordbase has taken delivery of a Gottwald Model 2 harbour crane from Terex Port Solutions for its terminal in Florø, Norway.

Designed for compact and restricted ports the diesel/electric G HMK 2304 harbour crane offers a maximum lifting capacity of 80 tonnes, a radius of up to 40 metres and hoisting speeds of up to 120 metres/minute. As well as its diesel-electric drive, the crane can also connect to a mains power supply and is available as a two or four-rope variant with two hoists and a 32 tonne grab curve suitable for bulk handling.

Terje Grude, senior contract coordinator at Saga Fjordbase, said: “With our new mobile harbour crane, we will be handling not only containers but, in the main, general cargo, including pipeline sections for the oil industry and other cargoes. We anticipate an increase in our productivity because the lifting capacity, lifting capacity curves, radius and working speeds are exactly in line with the tasks we need to be able to perform at our terminal.”
