<strong>Container</strong> <strong>cranes</strong> <strong>for</strong><br />
<strong>Eurogate</strong> <strong>Bremerhaven</strong><br />
<strong>and</strong> <strong>Hamburg</strong><br />
H<strong>and</strong>ling at Terminal <strong>Hamburg</strong>
Kuenz provides high efficiency <strong>and</strong> coordinated operations.<br />
Kuenz quality convinces in<br />
intermodal container h<strong>and</strong>ling.<br />
The Rail-Terminal <strong>Bremerhaven</strong><br />
Kuenz provides smooth connections<br />
to the European hinterl<strong>and</strong><br />
The Terminal <strong>and</strong> Logistic Group <strong>Eurogate</strong>, with headquarters<br />
in Bremen, Germany, operates Deep Sea Terminals on the<br />
North Sea, in the Mediterranean region <strong>and</strong> on the Atlantic<br />
ocean, with excellent connections to the hinterl<strong>and</strong> of Europe.<br />
With 10 terminal locations h<strong>and</strong>ling 14,2 Million TEU (2008),<br />
<strong>Eurogate</strong> is one of Europe`s largest terminal operators. The<br />
<strong>Eurogate</strong> <strong>Container</strong> Terminal at <strong>Hamburg</strong> is currently using<br />
six large-vessel berths. 2,7 Million TEU are h<strong>and</strong>led per<br />
year on an area of 1,4 Million m². <strong>Bremerhaven</strong> is <strong>Eurogate</strong>´s<br />
largest container terminal with an area of 2 Million m² <strong>and</strong><br />
h<strong>and</strong>ling of 5,5 Million TEU.<br />
Between 2002–2008, Kuenz installed eight <strong>cranes</strong> <strong>for</strong> the train<br />
terminals. By the end of 2009 another four container <strong>cranes</strong><br />
will be commissioned at the <strong>Hamburg</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Bremerhaven</strong><br />
harbour rail heads.<br />
Technical Data <strong>for</strong> the <strong>Hamburg</strong><br />
<strong>and</strong> <strong>Bremerhaven</strong> Rail Cranes<br />
The rail mounted container gantry <strong>cranes</strong> are designed as<br />
two-girder bridge. The steel construction of the gantry consists<br />
of the hinged post, the fixed post <strong>and</strong> the main girders with<br />
suspension. The hoisting rope reeving <strong>for</strong> the containerhoisting<br />
gear is executed as a rigid rope-tower. This system<br />
enables swing-free travel in gantry <strong>and</strong> trolley direction,<br />
as well as with the slewing gear. This guarantees efficient<br />
h<strong>and</strong>ling.
The good experience gained with the operation of the<br />
first four RMGs (supplied in 2002) was a key issue <strong>for</strong><br />
the further cooperation with Kuenz <strong>for</strong> the Eurokombi<br />
expansion project in <strong>Hamburg</strong>. Kuenz convinced again<br />
with experienced project management <strong>and</strong> the perfect<br />
quality of the <strong>cranes</strong>.<br />

Patented Technology by Kuenz –<br />
rotating travelling gear<br />
The lifetime of the wheels is limited by the wear of the wheel flanges.<br />
This wear is caused by off-track running of the wheels. Tolerances <strong>and</strong><br />
temperature changes affect the amount of wear caused by off-track<br />
running.<br />
Rotating travelling gear by Kuenz<br />
The patented Kuenz solution allows <strong>for</strong> swivelling of the travel unit in<br />
the horizontal direction to compensate <strong>for</strong> any inclination of the travel<br />
unit. That means: all wheels are running on the track. Stabilizers on<br />
both sides of the travel unit make it possible <strong>for</strong> optimized transmission<br />
of the <strong>for</strong>ces to the steel structure.<br />
This solution enables a major wear-reduction of the wheel flanges,<br />
which means a significant increase in the lifetime of the wheels.<br />
"The good experience gained by our collegues in<br />
<strong>Hamburg</strong> was a key issue <strong>for</strong> the decision in working<br />
together with Kuenz.<br />
Kuenz confirmed the <strong>Hamburg</strong> experience with a well<br />
established project management <strong>and</strong> the perfect quality<br />
of the <strong>cranes</strong> also <strong>for</strong> the <strong>Bremerhaven</strong> project.<br />
