Terex launches its Model 5 crane

Available as a mobile harbour crane, portal harbour crane on rails, a floating crane on a barge or as a stationary pedestal crane, the crane fills the gap between Models 4 and 6.  Designed to handle post-Panamax container vessels with up to 17 rows (post-Panamax), it can also handle heavy project cargo.

The two-rope unit is equipped with technical and ergonomic functions and features to improve productivity, environmental compatibility and facilitate operations to boost economical and sustainable cargo handling.  Operators can choose between the G HMK 5406 variant (full lifting capacity of 100 tonnes up to a radius of 24 m) and the G HMK 5506 variant (full capacity of 125 tonnes up to 18 m).

The Model 5 is based on a standard chassis, with an automated ‘H’ propping system and six individually steerable axles allowing crab steering and tight turns manoeuvrability and rapid positioning alongside a vessel.
