New and revised heavy lift truck products are becoming available, and choice is being maintained

Spreader manufacturers continue to focus on all-electric designs, and there is renewed interest in tandem systems for twin 40ft container handling.

Gottwald harbour cranes are now part of a bigger port-focused organisation offering the complete spectrum of piece goods and dry bulk quayside handling equipment.

The sale of Terex MHPS to Konecranes means there are now three major players in the straddle carrier market.

New owners, new dealers and new products – nothing stands still for very long in the heavy lift truck industry.

While Livorno port operator Lorenzini e Cia Srl, jointly owned by the Lorenzini family and MSC, has boosted its yard operations by acquiring four Noell RTGs from MSC Terminal Valencia for €2.5M, it has also invested €3.5M in a new Terex-Gottwald G HMK 7608 mobile harbour crane in two-rope variant.
