HIT takes delivery of 10 hybrid RTGs

The new one-over-six model RTGs have a lifting capacity of 41 tonnes and are expected to be deployed operationally later this month (July).

“The arrival of the cranes is part of our ongoing effort to strengthen yard operations and enhance overall operational efficiency. They will fit nicely into the newly converted yard area that was renovated to accommodate hybrid and electric RTGCs,” said Ivor Chow, HIT’s managing director

He added, “The new hybrid cranes underline our commitment to carrying out operations in an environmentally-friendly way. We expect to complete the conversion of our remaining diesel-driven cranes into either electric or hybrid models next year.”
