KONECRANES TO SUPPLY RTG CRANES TO INDONESIA

Konecranes to supply RTG cranes to Indonesia 

In June 2010, Konecranes received an order for five RTG (rubber tired gantry)
cranes from the Indonesian state-owned terminal operator PT. Pelabuhan
Indonesia I (Persero), (“Pelindo 1”). The cranes will be delivered to Belawan
International Container Terminal, (“BICT”), which is owned by Pelindo 1.
Delivery is scheduled for the third quarter of 2011. The parties have agreed
not to disclose the value of the order. 

BICT is located in the city of Medan on the west end of the Malacca strait --
an excellent location considering the world cargo main routes passing by as
well as the huge port of Singapore being at the same strait. BICT is presently
increasing capacity in their terminal and thus investing in new equipment. 

“We are proud to deliver these new eco-efficient RTG cranes to BICT,” says
Thomas Gylling, who is responsible for container handling port crane sales in
Southeast Asia. “The cranes will be a performance boosting addition to BICT's
existing yard crane fleet and will increase container handling capacity in the
terminal. This order is increasing the Konecranes RTG population in Indonesia
to more than 20 RTGs delivered, and is at the same time our first RTG delivery
to Sumatra.” 

The five 8-wheel RTGs can stack six plus one containers high and six containers
wide plus truck lane. The cranes have a lifting capacity of 40 tons. A very
significant feature of Konecranes RTG cranes is that they have not had any
hydraulic systems since 1995. This is a big advantage, especially in harsh
marine conditions, because it offers higher reliability as well as lower
maintenance and spare parts costs. The rubber tire wheel turning with the crane
travel machinery eliminates the separate maintenance intensive hydraulic
mechanisms. When changing stack, the crane wheels are rotating while they are
turning. This causes less wear to the rubber tires as well as to the container
yard compared with traditional solutions. As a result this will enable a longer
lifetime for the rubber tires as well as the yard surface.
