Commenting on the decision in favour of Gottwald four-rope grab cranes, Adri Meertens, Managing Director Verbrugge Terneuzen Terminals BV, one of the customers, said: “We do not just need high-performance machines for bulk handling but also universally applicable and, as a result, economical cranes to strengthen our fleet. After carefully weighing up the available options, it was apparent that the Gottwald cranes offered us the best choice. Gottwald Mobile Harbour Cranes offer high handling rates, long service lifetimes due to high crane classification, short delivery lead times and low specific investment costs, combined with flexibility in daily operation, as they cannot only work on bulk, but as the need arises, also on other goods. And that’s exactly what we need.”
“These orders confirm and strengthen our position in the Netherlands, which is one of our most important Harbour Crane markets,” emphasised Thomas H. Hagen, Member of the Management Board of Demag Cranes AG and COO. “At the same time, these orders for Mobile Harbour Cranes for professional bulk handling focus on our leading role in this sector.”
