KONECRANES TO SUPPLY ITS FIRST CONTAINER HANDLING CRANES TO TURKEY


Konecranes to supply its first container handling cranes to Turkey

In March 2010, Konecranes received an order for six RTG (rubber-tired-gantry)
container handling cranes from Turkish terminal operator TCE EGE Konteyner
Terminal Isletmeleri, A.S. based in Aliaga, Izmir. The first RTG cranes will be
delivered to TCE EGE in Aliaga in January 2011. Both parties have agreed not to
disclose the value of the order. 

TCE EGE is part of the global Spanish-based operator Grup TCB (Terminal de
Contenidors de Barcelona, S.L.) to whom Konecranes delivered its first cranes
already in 1993. Today, Grup TCB has more than 20 Konecranes cranes in several
of their terminals e.g. in Valencia, Spain and in Paranagua, Brazil. 

Konecranes won the recent RTG order thanks to the customer's good experience
with Konecranes' equipment. 

“We are very pleased about this order to TCE EGE,” says Kim Salvén, Sales
Manager at Konecranes. “We started the sales work in Turkey two years ago and
this has now paid off. Turkey will be one of our focus areas in the future.“ 

The 16-wheel RTG cranes are equipped with active load control with a horizontal
fine positioning system and Konecranes' crane management system, ensuring safe
and uninterrupted use of the cranes. The cranes have a lifting capacity of 40
tons and can stack one over six containers high and six plus truck lanes wide.
