Konecranes has extended their Generation 6 mobile harbour crane family with the introduction of the Konecranes Gottwald Mobile Harbor Crane ESP.4. The company claims that the newest family member is the smallest in size but not in capability, providing a high level of multi-purpose handling across container, bulk material and general/project cargo for smaller ports.

“Many smaller seaside and river ports are ready for multi-purpose operations. They’re seeing growing volumes of containers, bulk and general and project cargo, and looking for the right kind of equipment to get the maneuverability and flexibility they need to succeed. We believe it’s time for them to seriously consider the mobile harbor crane concept, invented by Konecranes and now adapted to the Konecranes Gottwald ESP.4,” says Jorg Mueller, Vice President, Mobile Harbour Cranes, Konecranes. “The ESP.4 is the ideal piece of equipment for their future growth.”
The Generation 6 family now ranges from the ESP.4 to the ESP.10 and has been well received by terminal operators around the world. The ESP.4 is built on a heritage of over 70 years of proven mobile harbour crane technology and has all the good genes of the recent Generation 6 to handle every kind of cargo.
The “E” of ESP stands for “electric”: it comes with a proven modular drive concept covering all-electric operation with external power supply and batteries, as well as optimised diesel generator sets. The “S” stands for “smart”: it comes with a full range of smart features and digital tools. The “P” stands for “powerful”: this crane gives high working speeds and strong lifting capacity curves with a high classification. The ESP.4 is available on a five-axle rubber-tyred chassis, on a rail-mounted portal, or on a barge.
