Konecranes Gottwald Cranes on Barge
As the industry’s pioneer, Konecranes has used the basis of its well-known mobile harbor crane technology to create different crane types to suit your needs. In addition to portal harbor cranes for quay facilities, these also include floating cranes for use in various applications on water.
Konecranes Gottwald Cranes on Barge are available for all crane models and come in these variants:
• pedastal-mounted cranes on barge (the crane is mounted on the pedestal of a specially designed barge),
• portal harbor cranes on barges (the crane is mounted on and runs on rails on a specially designed barge).
The benefit of these cranes is that they offer flexible solutions for cargo handling in harbors or on waterways where there are few quays or none at all or where quay capacities have been exhausted.
