The Norwegian Port of Drammen has opted for a new Liebherr mobile harbour crane, type LHM 550, which has started operation in June 2014.
This is the second mobile harbour crane for the port, the other being an LHM 400 in operation since 2008.
With this new investment, Port of Drammen has doubled its container handling capacity.
Additionally, the LHM 550 is also capable of efficient bulk, general cargo and heavy lift operation.
The crane provides a lifting capacity of 144 tonnes, which means over 40 tonnes more than the strongest of the existing machines in the port.
The new crane is equipped with Liebherr’s Pactronic hybrid drive system, achieving increased handling performance with reduced fuel consumption.
