Liebherr delivers first cranes to US West Coast

Liebherr continues to grow its presence in the US having secured an order for two ship-to-shore (STS) cranes for Californian container terminal operator TraPac.

It is the first time Liebherr has delivered any cranes to the US West Coast and represents a significant achievement for the Swiss-based crane-maker.

The cranes boast a 66 metre outreach, a 53 m lift height, a span of 30.48 m and a lifting capacity of 66 T in twin-lift mode.

Declan O’Sullivan, general manager – sales at Liebherr Container Cranes says: “We are delighted to partner with TraPac Oakland and bring Liebherr’s innovative crane technology to the US West Coast”.

TraPac says the two STS cranes are equipped with advanced technology and semi-automation systems as well as the latest anti-collision systems.

Shane Kuhlmey, divisional director at Liebherr US for Liebherr Maritime Cranes adds: “TraPac Oakland’s decision to invest in Liebherr’s advanced STS cranes marks a major milestone for our presence on the US West Coast”.

TraPac’s investment in the new STS cranes is part of a larger program to modernise and expand its Oakland terminal following a USD67 million expansion in recent years which has nearly doubled the terminal’s size.
