Third E-crane ordered by Mälarhamnar AB
Following the mandatory tender process, Mälarhamnar AB has ordered an E-Crane model 9317B GA-E for the Köping Terminal, on the Mälaren waterway.
Crane capacity: 9,0 tons at radius: 31,7 m
Like the first two machines (pictured below) which operate in Västerås, the third E-Crane will also be mounted onto an existing rail mounted gantry.
Mälarhamnar has experienced and appreciates the well-known and proven advantages of the E-Crane balance cranes.
Unique advantages of the E-Crane balance crane
- The movable counterweight maintains a perfect equilibrium with the pay load under all conditions.
- Energy is needed only to move the load and energy consumption is only about half of what is used by a traditional hydraulic materials handler.
- The driver can push the stick into the bulk material with half the lifting capacity and thereby make sure the grab is always completely filled.
- The driver has full control over the movements of the crane and high crane speeds reduce cycle times and increase productivity.
- Unlike traditional material handlers, E-Cranes are designed to the highest possibleFEM crane classification, A8. This results in reliability, long life and lowest maintenance costs.
- E-Crane can be delivered on, pedestal, crawlers or rail mounted gantry.
