Cooper SH has scooped a prestigious industry award for the outstanding support the company has provided to the operators of one of the country's highest profile inter-modal terminals.
The ABP Hams Hall Rail Freight Terminal based near Sutton Coldfield, Birmingham is one of the busiest of its type in the UK, and judges at the Rail Freight Group Awards 2013 were impressed with the way Cooper had developed a maintenance regime to boost uptime and keep train and road-going vehicle turnarounds to a minimum.
Cooper SH was presented the award during a special event in Hertfordshire where the company was also recognised in the Environmental Innovation category. The company was shortlisted for the award after announcing the launch of a new hybrid reach stacker from Konecranes in its product range.
Kalmar wins APM Terminals project
Helsinki, FinlandKalmar, part of Cargotec, has been commissioned by the Shanghai Zhenhua Heavy Industries Co. Ltd (ZPMC) to increase the operating height of four ship-to-shore (STS) cranes for APM Terminals Algeciras in southern Spain. The project started in June this year, with the cranes returning to full operation in just four months, in October 2013.
The STS cranes, originally provided by ZPMC, will each have their height increased by 5.8 metres by Kalmar. This will provide APM Terminals considerable extra capacity to handle the new Triple-E vessels arriving at the port. The modifications will be undertaken by Kalmar's specialist crane services team located in Algeciras, Spain, who have developed innovative systems to handle this highly technical procedure.
