La Nuova Meccanica Navaleadds, based in Naples, has bought an electric LHM 420 mobile harbour crane to replace an older LHM 1300.
This crane, with a 124-tonne lifting capacity and 48 metre outreach, is built for heavy-duty shipyard operations. Liebherr says the company selected the
LHM 420 for its reliability and manoeuvrability in confined quay spaces.
Porto Marghera, Venice-based logistics hub Interporto Rivers Venezia has also bought one of Liebherr’s LHM 420 electric drive models to support bulk and scrap operations at its multipurpose terminal.
This addition complements the terminal’s existing fleet of four Liebherr mobile harbour cranes: an LHM 250; two LHM 320s; and an LHM 550.
Impresa Portuale Metropolitana’s (IPM) has bought two LHM 550 cranes for its bulk terminal at the port of Bari, Italy.
Each crane is rated at 154 tonnes with a 54-metre outreach and equipped with e-drive for emissions-free operation when connected to shore power.
The cranes have the latest operator cabin and LED lighting for safe, efficient handling even in low-light conditions.
