Second E-Crane for Amaggi in Brazil

E-Crane technicians have assembled the crane in the shipyard. Mechanical assembly took only four (4) days, followed by hydraulic and electrical connections.

Amaggi, the biggest Brazilian grain and fertilizer trading company, has purchased their second E-Crane. This new E-Crane will operate in Porto Velho, RO in Brazil.

The demand for fertilizer has grown a lot over the last few years, which is why the customer has just completed construction of a brand new private port, which will be integrated logistically with their Itacoatiara, PA facilities.

E-Crane has supported the customer in designing an optimal layout, especially considering that the port suffers significant water level variation over the course of a year. The operation combines many modes of transport. Imported fertilizer is unloaded to barges in Itacoatiara by a 3000C Series E-Crane mounted on one of the biggest floating barges in operation in the market. Afterwards, these barges sail down the river to Porto Velho, RO where the new E-Crane will unload the fertilizer to a hopper (also mounted on the barge) that is connected to a mobile conveyor belt.  This conveyor takes the material to another conveyor belt on land, which will finally load trucks that transport the materials to farmers. The new E-Crane is a 1000C Series Model EC7290 PD-E to be installed on a barge which will be anchored to a floating pier. The E-Crane will be equipped with a 6 m³ grab, good for unloading fertilizer at 900 tph.
