Cargotec developed its electric drive for
cranes in 2005 with sales of the first crane in 2007, since then focus on development of the drives and environmental regulations coming into play has made these cranes a more viable option for ship owners.
Further development of the electric drive has also seen Cargotec launch its electric- drive side rolling hatch cover in 2001, with its second generation, MacRack, being launched on to the market at the end of last year. NA
