Since mid-2014, TPS has delivered several machines to a range of locations in the area, and now the Swedish company SCA Logistics AB (SCA) has ordered a Model 6 mobile harbour crane in the G HMK 6507 two-rope variant. From mid-2016, the logistics division of the leading manufacturer of paper, pulp and timber products SCA Svenska Cellulosa Aktiebolaget, will use the crane at its terminal in Sundsvall, approximately 400 km to the north of the Swedish capital Stockholm. The new mobile harbour crane for SCA will supplement an existing rail-mounted harbour crane in Sundsvall. The Terex Gottwald mobile harbour crane designed for professional loading and unloading of containers offers SCA a maximum lifting capacity of 125 t, a radius up to 51 m and achieves
lifting speeds of 120 m/min. It will help SCA to meet the constantly growing demand in the container handling business. Urban Häggkvist, Terminal Manager, SCA: “We expect particularly
high growth rates in the container business. That is why we have also moved the container activities to the Korstabäcks quay of the SCA terminal, where it is possible to moor much larger container vessels than before. In order to be equipped for growth, we are relying on high-performance Terex Gottwald mobile harbour crane technology.”
Thanks to its mobility, versatility and reliability, the G HMK 6507 offers a high level of user friendliness and ease of maintenance. It will not only support SCA with container handling, but in some cases also with loading and unloading project cargo, for which it was necessary to hire mobile cranes before. Häggkvist: “The new crane is an investment in the future for us and part of a comprehensive integrated concept, with which we plan to become faster, more productive and more flexible at our terminal in Sundsvall.”
