Porto Chibatão sets another milestone with 4 LBS 800

The barge-slewing cranes of type LBS 800 are the largest harbour cranes over floating pier, and the port is the first in the world to feature them in their operations. A special boom length of 66 metres allows the cranes to reach large freighters with a width of up to 23 rows of containers, further supported by a 9.6-metre tower extension for better overview for the crane operators. Performance is enhanced by the inclusion of electric drives for more reliable, high-speed turnover and fewer local emissions, and the cranes can lift up to 104 tonnes.
