The all-rounder for post-Panamax classESP.8

Our ESP.8 Konecranes Gottwald Mobile Harbor Cranes are designed as all-rounders for cargo handling to serve vessels up to post-Panamax class. They have a working radius of up to 54 m, lifting capacities of up to 150 t and lifting speeds of up to 120 m/min. In the two-rope variant, these cranes offer high flexibility when handling containers as well as general and project cargo. As four-rope grab cranes (as ESP.8B), they have a 63 t grab load curve to handle bulk cargo. In the B variant with a 54 m radius, they are ideal for ship-to-ship bulk handling from the quayside.

Let’s talk about how our ESP.8 cranes can improve your terminal

Discover our crane types

Konecranes Gottwald Mobile Harbor Cranes have been developed for all types of terminals. They can be moved quickly and easily around the entire terminal on their rubber-tired chassis. For terminals with lower quay loads and smaller surface areas, we offer other crane types – mounted on:

Portal

Portals

For more than 20 years, we have offered mobile harbor crane technology on portals, for terminals with lower quay loads or existing rail infrastructure. The portals are adapted to the existing track width, the required clearance height and the rail load.

Barges
