Maher Terminals at the Port of New York and New Jersey has ordered three ship-to-shore (STS) cranes from Liebherr Container Cranes, bolstering the port’s ability to handle the world’s largest vessels.

With a span of 30.48 m, a back reach of 22.9 m, an outreach of 69.5 m and a lift height over rail of 53.34 m, the megamax cranes are designed to handle the world’s largest container vessels.
