Liebherr continues to grow in India
Two LHM 500 cranes in operation at ABG Infralogistics Ltd, India
Liebherr has acquired a strategically important order in the Indian market.
In delivering six mobile harbour cranes of type LHM 400 to ABG Infralogistics Ltd., Liebherr has further bolstered its market position on the Indian subcontinent in this product range. The large machines shipped to the port of Haldia have a maximum lifting capacity of 140 tonnes and are fitted with a 20 m_ and a 35 m_ four rope grab. All cranes will be delivered in a pre-assembled condition in order to achieve almost immediate operation on site by mid-October. To increase their handling capacities, many port operators are turning to Liebherr technology. For example, on 20 August’09, Krishnapatnam Port achieved an All-India record; the cape size vessel MV Cape Santa Alegria was turned around with an average load rate of 50.400 MT per day. A total cargo of 101.250 MT was loaded within 48 hours by using two Liebherr Mobile Harbour Cranes, type LHM 500. Peak performance of the cranes reached 1500 MT per hour and the average handling rate was 1050 MT per hour over the entire vessel.
