One bright idea – many applications
Konecranes Gottwald Floating Cranes come into their own in harbors or waterways with limited quay facilities or none at all, and where quay capacities are exhausted. Based on well-proven Konecranes Gottwald mobile harbor crane technology, they can be used on a floating barge (turnkey solution):
On rivers
In ports
In sheltered waters
In coastal waters
In open-sea operation
We offer a number of variants.
Configured as a harbor pontoon crane
Variant as a barge with a pedestal on which the crane is mounted
Variant as a barge with rails on which the crane can be moved
Allows multiple hatches without warping the barge
One barge, many benefits
Independent of landside handling facilities
Low specific investment costs
Short delivery lead times
Avoids lengthy approval procedures
No need for costly purchase of additional land or construction of new quays
More, larger vessels can be serviced in the port
Quay facilities unnecessary for direct transshipment between seagoing ship and barge
When additional capacity is required, floating cranes can supplement land-based handling
Flexible concept
Configured to account for ship sizes, cargo types and required handling rates
From simple floating cranes through to comprehensive turnkey floating crane solutions
