Oy Adolf Lahti Yxpila Ab (Adolf Lahti) and stevedoring company Oy M. Rauanheimo Ab (Rauanheimo) are now operating a new, eco-efficient Generation 6 Konecranes Gottwald Mobile Harbor Crane at the port of Röyttä in Tornio, Finland.
The order was placed last February, and the crane was delivered a few months later in July. The new crane handles general cargo and containers and is now the largest and most modern of the six cranes the companies operate at the port of Tornio.
Adolf Lahti and Rauanheimo are subsidiaries of KWH Logistics, a port operator in Finland.
“Crane operators at the ports where we recently took over operations have had excellent experience with the Konecranes Gottwald brand. In the Generation 6, handling performance and reliability are at a whole new level and the eco-efficient electric drive system supports our sustainability efforts,” said Pekka Pöllänen, CEO of Adolf Lahti.
The new ESP.6 Konecranes Gottwald Mobile Harbor Crane in Tornio has a working radius of 49 m and a capacity of 125 t. As one of the new Generation 6 mobile harbor cranes, it offers stronger lifting capacity curves to reach larger vessels and higher handling rates. The crane has been prepared for an external power supply, so it produces zero local exhaust emissions and reduced noise while running more efficiently when connected to the harbor mains. For unplugged operation, it uses an onboard diesel generator set in line with EU Stage V emission standards.
“We are confident that Adolf Lahti has found the right solution for their needs with this Generation 6 mobile harbor crane. It gives them high performance and productivity, and we look forward to building a long-term partnership with them,” noted Hans-Juergen Schneider, regional sales manager, port solutions, Konecranes.
