DÜSSELDORF: Terex Port Solutions (TPS) has received a combined order for 21 Terex Gottwald harbour cranes from five separate continents, in the company’s first yearly quarter.
In the first quarter of 2015, 21 machines, including two floating cranes for mid-stream bulk handling to the USA, were ordered between the start of the year and March.
Giuseppe Di Lisa, vice president sales and service for Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Russia said: “The latest orders have come from all continents where there are terminals and we are therefore developing with the entire global economy. Almost a third of the cranes are going to Europe.”
TPS received eleven orders for model 6 harbour cranes, four of which will be delivered to African terminals.
Two model 2 cranes will be delivered to Italy and North Africa, meanwhile model 8 floating cranes are to be transported to Mississippi, USA.
“In the first quarter of 2015, the greatest demand was for our Model 6 harbour cranes, including one in the 4-rope-grab variant for professional bulk handling which TPS is going to supply to Spain. Our northern European customers have ordered three model 6 cranes with a lifting capacity of 125 tonnes. This indicates that customers increasingly wish to be prepared to handle heavy loads,” said Di Lisa.
