Cosco Pacific receives first batch of Terex RTGs

The RTGs are part of a 20 unit order for the first phase of a port terminal contract that will meet growing container volumes in Xiamen, generated by China’s booming economy. The order value is confidential.

“With container volumes through our phase one terminal increasing constantly, we were looking for cranes capable of matching our intensive handling needs in the long term,” says Zhang Junsheng, general manager of Xiamen Ocean Gate Container Terminal Co Ltd.

The eight-wheeled RTGs offer five-high in first row stacking height and six-plus-one stacking width. They have a maximum under spreader capacity of 40.5 tonnes and a span of 23.47 m (77 ft.). Hoist speeds range from 23 to 53 m/min (76-174 ft./min) and gantry speeds from 30-90 m/min (98-295 ft./min). The trolley speed is 70 m/min (230 ft./min).
