New Model 5 variant from Terex

Terex Port Solutions (TPS) now offers the diesel-electric Terex^® Gottwald Model 5 harbour crane in a high tower variant in addition to its standard short tower variant.

Compared to the short tower design, the new tower variant has been extended by 4.3m. As a result, the height of the boom pivot point has been increased from 16.7 m to 21 m and the viewing height of the crane driver from 22 m to 26.3 m. Thanks to the modified crane geometry, terminal operators now have a Model 5 crane option that can load and unload vessels up to post-Panamax class with higher container stacks on deck.

Andreas Moeller, sales director harbour cranes at TPS, explained that the new variant was a response to feedback from customers.
