Port Canaveral opts for Liebherr mobile harbour crane

A custom-designed Liebherr LHM 600 mobile harbour crane (MHC) is in operation at Port Canaveral, enabling the efficient handling of all kinds of heavy cargo including space components as well as containers.

The unit, which is the largest MHC in the US with a lifting capacity of 154 tonnes and 58 m boom reach, has been in operation at Canaveral Port Authority since the beginning of 2019.

The machine is equipped with a double layer winch and a special tower extension that allows a maximum lifting height of up to 70 m.
