The 104-tonne lifting capacity mobile harbour crane has been deployed at Hartel Terminal in the Port of Rotterdam to handle upwards of 2,000t per hour of various dry bulk goods.
The machinery has a boom of 64 metres and offers a 30.8-metre eye-level height. An electric drive unit powers the crane.
Additionally, Marcor's new mobile harbour crane features Liebherr's SmartGrip technology. This system optimises the grab entry angle and adapts to the bulk material in use without the need to change the grab. SmartGrip also fills the grab based on an optimum load graph, reducing overload and its effects on the crane's structure.
A second LHM 800 will be delivered to Marcor later this year.
"With the LHM 800, we have gained a competitive edge in the dry bulk market. It is a versatile and powerful machine that can handle any type of cargo, from ore to grains and fertilisers. It also reduces our fuel consumption and emissions, which is in line with our sustainability goals," Danny Swart, Director of Marcor Stevedoring, commented.
