Proven excellence in multimodal logistics
The Port of Middlesbrough has been a key to regional trade for nearly 200 years. The family business with an 80-year track record of excellence in logistics, has built the port into a modern multimodal logistics center supporting manufacturing supply chains across various industries with deep-water berths, rail terminals, a container terminal and road transport.
Part of a sustainable £10 m master plan
In the framework of a £10 m master plan to invest further in the port facility, supporting its customers and positioning its business for further growth, Port of Middlesbrough needed a new high-capacity mobile harbor crane quickly. As they have three existing Konecranes Gottwald mobile harbor cranes, they opted again for Konecranes.
Increasing lifting power significantly
The new Model 5 mobile harbor crane is the biggest in the port of Middlesbrough and has allowed Port of Middlesbrough to significantly increase their available lifting power. It handles a wide range of cargo including containers, bulk materials, breakbulk, project cargo as well as components for off-shore wind and renewables.
Fully electric, powered by the port’s mains
In line with the drive to reduce emissions to meet their environmental targets, Port of Middlesbrough opted for a fully electric crane. The Model 5 crane is powered by the new harbor mains system which completely eliminates local carbon emissions and keeps noise emissions to a minimum.
