Konecranes, whose products are distributed in South Africa by EIE Group’s Heavy Lift division, has delivered its Konecranes SMV 4531 TC5 reach stacker to APM Terminals
in Port Elizabeth.
A first of its kind in operation in Africa, the product is part of APM’s plan to reduce emissions at its port terminal operations. Further, the implementation of the product emphasises APM’s on-going commitment to offer versatile and flexible container handling solutions at its port terminal operations.
The significance of the Konecranes SMV 4531 TC5 lies in its implementation of technological advanced innovations such as the Konecranes Flow Drive driveline, which features Hydrovariable Transmission technology, courtesy of prominent Dana Rexroth transmission systems.
By combining the smoothness of hydrostatic transmissions with the fuel economy characteristics of torque converter type transmissions has resulted in a product that encapsulates the best of both worlds. This, coupled with a smaller, but more powerful Volvo TAD-853-VE engine, provides greater efficiency and overall lower running costs than that of convention type reach stacker machinery. Their load lifting capacities are impressive, with the first row managing up to 45-ton, the second row up to 31-ton, and the third row lifting up to 16-ton.
