In the Port of Tarragona, terminal operator Bergé has taken delivery of the second Liebherr LHM 550 mobile harbour crane. The first arrived in September.
This unit is more environmentally friendly than previous models, using 26% less fuel for the same work. It also emits less noise and has overall greater insulation.
It has an outreach of 54 metres and a maximum load capacity of 144 tonnes. It is therefore suitable to be deployed on dry bulk shipments, as well as on steel products and project cargo.
Bergé has also acquired the variant that incorporates the LiDAT Smart App Maintenance programme, which gives a real-time view of equipment status and performance to ensure that the machinery is in perfect condition, thereby cutting down time and increasing availability.
