eco-efficient Generation 6 Konecranes Gottwald Mobile Harbor Crane for its terminal in the Port of Veracruz on the shore of the Gulf of Mexico. This is a first order for this type of

choice in this crane acquisition process. This new Generation 6 crane, which will be crane number 10, promises even more handling capacity and service life,” said Leoncio Perez, CEO, Grupo CICE. CICE provides port and logistics services since 1991 at several locations in Mexico from its head office in Veracruz. The Port of Veracruz is the oldest and largest port in the country and includes CICE’s largest facility. With a continuing expansion of terminal capacity, CICE is looking to upgrade its equipment with a high-capacity crane that can handle both containers and general and project cargo. The Generation 6 crane will be a
Konecranes Gottwald ESP.9 Mobile Harbor Crane, with a working radius of up to 61m and a lifting capacity of 125t. It features a tower extension for reaching higher container stacks on deck and a better view of the vessels and working environment. It provides a strong
lifting capacity curve for high handling performance and an A7 classification in container handling for a long service life. “CICE’s reaching of this milestone with us demonstrates the confidence they have in our brand and the new Generation 6 cranes as we move forward in a solid business partnership that has been going strong for over two decades,” added Andreas Moeller, senior sales manager, Mobile Harbor Cranes, Konecranes Port Solutions. “This crane also underlines how we
adapt to changing customer needs, particularly with regard to crane size and handling performance,” said Marc Wellenberg, regional sales manager, Konecranes Port Solutions. “It opens another chapter in the success story of Konecranes in the Americas, as the eyes of customers in the region are opening to see the benefits of our new Generation 6 mobile harbor crane.” ●
