Italian box terminal enhances operations with Liebherr equipment

Salerno Container Terminal (SCT) has added the new LHM 600 HR crane of Liebherr to its container handling equipment, which offers an outreach of 58 metres and twin-lift spreaders with a capacity of 2 x 32.5 tonnes.

The new machine is outfitted with a tower extension of 12 metres, while cranes of this variety have a higher cabin, which is 37.1 metres. The pivot point is also higher, allowing for larger ships to be served. With the crane’s extended range, more container rows can be accommodated.

SCT said that a fast turnaround time has been achieved with the order being completed in November 2022 and the crane being delivered around a month later, on 29 December 2022.

This is not the first Liebherr machine at the Italian box terminal as two LHM 800 and two LHM 600 are already in use. The Gallozzi Group, SCT’s parent company, and Liebherr have been working together since 2017.

The new crane will be used for container operations and is planned for 24/7 operation.
