GET, LLC is amazed each day by the capability of our partner Terex Inc. The technology that they are coming up with to support the lift needs of the world's construction and services industry was kicked up a notch recently with the introduction of the Quaymate M50.
Adapting the design and technology from the Gottwald Model 2 harbor crane, the 50 tonne diesel-electric Quaymate M50 has a 36 meter (118 Feet) maximum radius with 50 meter a minute hoisting speeds. Designed as an entry model for small maritime and river ports the new crane will be manufactured at Terex Port Solution’s plant in Xiamen, China using components both from Asia and Europe.
“When we launched the mobile harbour crane around 60 years ago, we were responding to changing requirements in many terminals," said Vice President of Terex Port Solutions Mathias Dobner, "Throughout the world new terminals are appearing and existing terminals are continuing to develop. This means that many operators are looking for their first harbor cranes or harbor cranes to replace non-port equipment, while others would like to add to their existing fleet.”
Terex says the M50 provides operators of smaller ports with an economical as well as user and environmentally friendly machine designed for light to medium-duty applications. Additional features include a cable reel and electric hook rotator for operation with automatic spreaders for container handling and motor grabs for bulk and scrap handling.
“In many regions of the world, we are dealing with economies that are at the start of a growth period. These markets demand functional solutions with cost-effective and rugged machines which firstly work reliably and secondly allow the terminal in question to grow." said Dobner.
We are convinced, along with Terex, that the Quaymate M50 crane can help many operators to modernize their cargo handling including those here in Micronesia and the North Pacific. It is perfectly clear that together we can build small entry-level products as well as large, heavy-duty cranes for developed ports in this region and beyond.
