The crane has a maximum lifting capacity of 79 t and a maximum radius of 46 m. It has a portal with a track gauge of 10.5 m, which is the standard in Russia, and a portal clearance height of 6 m. Due to the low permissible rail loading it is fitted with a total of 32 wheels – eight at each corner of the crane. The G HSK 3432 is the fourth Terex® Gottwald portal harbour crane in Vladivostok and the twelfth of this type in Russia.
The Terex Gottwald G HSK 3432 harbour crane in Vladivostok mainly handles containers with vehicle parts for the local works of the Russian automobile manufacturer Sollers, as Sergey Dorozhkin, CEO of Pacific Logistic, explains: “Sollers has been making vehicles for a number of international manufacturers here since 2012 and, for the long-term supply of the works with vehicle parts, a crane had to be obtained quickly which could unload the vessels reliably and efficiently.” The G HSK 3432 harbour crane satisfied these criteria and the local infrastructural conditions best: It is not only fitted with its own on-board diesel generator, but also with equipment for connecting to an external power supply, to offer the operator the required power supply redundancy. Use of the external power from the terminal’s electricity supply also increases the efficiency of the crane, while at the same time reducing noise emissions in the terminal.
