GCT Canada has ordered 10 Konecranes rubber tyred gantry cranes (RTGs) for its GCT Deltaport container terminal in Vancouver, British Columbia.
The terminal currently operates a fleet of 12 Konecranes RTGs.
The new machines are CSA-approved and equipped with Tier 4f diesel engines and Konecranes’ Diesel Fuel Saver technology. They are also equipped with Konecranes’ Active Load Control (ALC) system, which eliminates container sway in the hands of the terminal’s skilled crane operators.
The order was booked in the second quarter of this year and the new cranes will be delivered in the first quarter of 2024.
GCT Canada already has 16-wheel machines with a lifting capacity of 40 LT, lifting 1-over-5 high and 7 + truck lane wide.
