Australian port solution provider Qube Ports has opted for a new Liebherr mobile harbour crane type LHM 420. The new machine is the eighth mobile harbour crane Qube Ports has purchased from German crane manufacturer Liebherr.

Qube Ports is a major integrated port solutions provider, with services and facilities in 28 Australian ports, together with cargo storage, materials handling and distribution operations in all Australian states.

For the port in Bell Bay, Tasmania, Qube recently ordered a container-handling version of the LHM 420, equipped with a twin-lift spreader. For the handling of project cargo, the LHM 420 provides a maximum lifting capacity of 124 T at an outreach of up to 16 m. The maximum reach of the crane is 48 m.

Qube Ports already has Liebherr cranes in Darwin, Bunbury, Port Hedland, Geraldton and Fremantle. It also recently ordered 12 wheel loaders from Liebherr.

"Our partnership with Qube goes from strength to strength," says Leopold Berthold, managing director, sales in Rostock, Germany. "We hope to also support them with the new LRS 545 Reachstacker or with the upcoming Liebherr Log Handler."

The new crane should arrive in Bell Bay in June, when it will be assembled and commissioned by both local and European engineers.
