Latest orders for Gottwald’s Model 4

For these models, Gottwald offers a wide range of variants to meet individual customer requirements in terms of crane type, lifting capacity, hoist speed and drive power which, together with an order programme, allow for highly individual solutions and short delivery lead-times. Since the launch of Generation 5 at the beginning of 2006, 79 units have been sold.

“Model 4 is an entry-level model for the diversified 100-tonne class market and is also offered in several variants, including a 4-rope-grab for professional bulk handling. And like our Models 6, 7 and 8, it is offered not only as a mobile harbour crane on a tyre-mounted chassis, but also as a portal harbour crane and as a floating crane on barge,” said Dr. Mathias Dobner, Gottwald’s CEO.

Model 4 has a working radius of up to 46 m, hoist speeds of up to 100 m/min and a 40-tonne grab curve in A7 classification or 34-tonne grab curve in A8 classification and can handle ships up to the Panamax class. And its compact design, “makes it versatile as possible and no larger than necessary,” explained Dobner.
