Three Liebherr LHM Cranes Delivered to Noatum Port Terminals in Spain

Following the LHM 420 crane which arrived at Noatum Terminal Sagunto on January 5, 2022, three more new Liebherr mobile harbour cranes are joining the fleet at Noatum port terminals in Castellon, Sagunto and Tarragona. The cranes will enable the terminals to improve their handling efficiency for various cargo types.

 

The port of Rostock serves as one of Liebherr’s central maritime production locations, effectively connected to global water shipping lanes.

 

The 3 cranes were loaded  on to the Heavy Load Carrier MERI in the morning hours of September 5 for their journey to Spain. Three terminals operated by the Spanish company will benefit from the performance of the LHM 420 and LHM 550 models.

 

Arriving at the port in Castellon, the three Liebherr mobile harbour cranes get ready to be unloaded in Spain.

 

Port terminals operated by Noatum support a variety of commodities around their global supply chain. Agricultural goods, minerals in bulk, steel, project cargo, and, containers, and more are all part of their logistic network. With their carrying capacity of 124 and 144 tonnes, respectively, the LHM 420 and LHM 550 can lift and handle a variety of cargo.

Liebherr mobile harbour cranes offer effective solutions for reduced energy consumption while improving cargo handling productivity. This is in part achieved by Liebherr’s proprietary hydrostatic drive, in which closed hydraulic loops are used for all main functions such as lifting, turning and luffing. The hydrostatic drive allows the operator extremely precise control. Additionally, service personnel benefit from a minimum number of components, and the operating company benefits from reduced fuel consumption.

For our Spanish client Noatum, this includes supporting them in their aim to reduce their overall environmental footprint while still meeting the demands of increased global cargo traffic both in terms of volume and mass. The LHM 420 and LHM 550 meet their specific tonnage and diverse cargo needs at their Castellon, Sagunto and Tarragona terminals. With the LHM 420 model alone, they anticipate an improvement in productivity of up to 38 containers per hour.”
