Bothra has taken delivery of a new Liebherr LRS 545 reachstacker

Bothra Shipping Services has taken delivery of a new Liebherr LRS 545 reachstacker for its Kakinada Port container operation in India.

The new reachstacker is being used at Bothra's busy port for container operations, predominantly for the stacking of containers inside the terminal.

The Liebherr reachstacker was chosen because of the smooth handling features and the high total economic value of the machine.

The LRS 545 is designed for highly responsive operation with enhancements like stepless acceleration from the hydrostatic drive system.

Bothra operates 11 Liebherr mobile harbour cranes for bulk operations and is awaiting the delivery of a multipurpose CBW ship crane.

In order to further increase crane operator skills, Bothra has also recently installed a new training classroom equipped with a Liebherr LiSIM simulator. The simulator offers the original Liebherr crane controls and is equipped with simulations software for both mobile harbour cranes and ship cranes.
