Gottwald Port Technology will deliver six Generation 5 G HMK 6407 B four-rope grab mobile harbour cranes to logistics provider Sea-Invest's terminal facilities in Belgium and France.

The orders are two cranes for coal, scrap and other bulk products handling at CBM Ghent, two cranes for mineral handling at ABT Antwerp and one crane each for bulk handling applications at the Sogema Rouen and Carfos Marseille Caronte terminals.

They are Sea-Invest's first Generation 5 cranes from Gottwald.

Sea-invest chief engineer Eddy Haerens said good experience with Gottwald's mobile harbour cranes of previous generations was a deciding factor in the latest order.

The G MHK 6407 B has a 35-tonne grab curve, a maximum outreach of 48 metres and a maximum hoisting speed of 110 metres a minute.

Gottwald Port Technology spokesperson Peter Klein said the company would not disclose order values.
