Porto Chibatão receives four Liebherr LBS 800 harbour cranes for floating pier

Porto Chibatão has received four Liebherr LBS 800 harbour cranes for its floating pier as the port, which serves the Manaus industrial park, looks to improve reliability, high-speed turnover and reduce emissions by including more electric drives.

The barge-slewing cranes are the largest harbour cranes over a floating pier, with a special boom length of 66 m, allowing them to reach large freighters with a width of 23 rows of containers, and supported by a 9.6 m tower to improve visibility for the operators.

The LBS 800 models are equipped for container handling with a turnover of up to 35 containers per hour and can lift up to 104 tonnes.
