New barge crane for Linz port
Linz Service intends to reconstruct its terminal in Linz, in the east of Austria, and has mandated Kuenz to supply a new gantry crane. The 120,000 sqm area of Hafen Linz is an important gateway for international freight traffic. The terminal will be modernised to maintain optimal conditions for trimodal services.
An important part of the upgrade is a second container crane commissioned by Kuenz. By 2021 the second gantry crane featuring a double-sided cantilever and a slewing trolley will span two adjoined barges, four railway tracks, a truck – loading and driving lane each, a working area for mobile handling equipment as well as a storage area. The telescopic piggy-back spreader will stack containers of each type 1 over 5 over a width of 40 m. (ben)
