The new G HSK 8424 B cranes feature four-rope grab variant system, a maximum capacity of 100 tonnes, and 50 tonne grab curve. With a maximum radius of 50 metres. The two new units will work at ABP’s Immingham terminal on the North Sea estuary of the Humber where they will replace two older HSK 360 EG’s.

Terex Port Solutions regional sales director Neil Griffiths said: “The terminal in Immingham shows how customers can continuously expand their business with our technology. ABP has opted for Terex Gottwald mobile harbour crane technology for 14 years. The cranes now ordered again stand for another visible leap in growth and performance.”

ABP engineering manager Sean Blissett added: “The terminal at Immingham handles a significant amount of bulk products. The solution from TPS has proven its reliability in this demanding environment over the years.”

Situated in the East of England, Immingham is the UK’s largest port by tonnage handling dry bulks, forest products, wind turbine equipment, containers, metals, liquid bulks, and general cargo. Roll-on roll-off ferries also run from the port.
