Konecranes and its Danish distributor NC Nielsen have delivered a 100 tonne reach stacker to port, the world’s most powerful reach stacker, although it is the fourth machine in this weight class delivered by Konecranes.
The 100t capacity reach stacker was delivered to Jutlandia Terminal in Esbjerg, where it is being used to handle and transport blades and components for wind turbines.
The machine was tailored by NC Nielsen from a standard Konecranes reach stacker.
It has a nine metre wheelbase and comes equipped with a lifting hook and foldable hydraulic support rolling wheels that enable the machine to cope with the extremes of a 100t load.
Most of the industrial applications for the 100t class reach stacker are in the wind turbine industry where one blade can weigh up to 96t.
Three similar machines have been delivered previously, including one to Beirut, Lebanon to handle 100 tonne concreted blocks in the construction of an extension to the port.
