Floating crane in New York harbour
For multiple deployment in the New York harbour, Sims Metal Management made flexible use of a Liebherr mobile harbour crane type LHM 600 to load scrap and unload salt. The crane is placed on a floating barge and can be moved to the terminal of Claremont in Jersey City, NJ, which is also run by SIMS and about 10 km linear distance.
Operation from the barge means that no adjustments to the port infrastructure are necessary. With a maximum lifting capacity of 75 t in four-rope grab operation, the crane is currently the strongest floating mobile harbour crane on a barge in the USA in four-rope grab capacity. (mw)
