Goods are Always on the Move
Perfect Logistics Requires Perfect Solutions
Ports are interfaces in a complex
chain of logistical stations where not
only containers and general cargo
but also numerous kinds of bulk
goods, like coal and ores, are loaded
and unloaded at maritime and river
terminals, stored and transferred to
power stations, agricultural and
industrial centres using conveyors,
road and rail transport.
Logistics Depends on the
Infrastructure
The multifarious demands made on
ports and terminals make it essential
to have equally flexible handling systems
and machinery at hand, which
make up a highly individual terminal
infrastructure, depending on its geographical
location and the goods it
handles. These facts make it necessary
to take into account a range of
parameters which will influence the
choice of equipment for the handling
systems. After all, the choice of handling
equipment is generally not a

one-off matter. Quite the contrary,
these machines are integral parts of
a complex handling system, which
includes not merely the ship and the
crane but also such ancillary equipment
as hoppers, conveyor belts and
land-based transport vehicles.
At the same time, downstream
elements of the industrial infrastructure,
such as power generators, steel
mills, gravel quarries and fertiliser factories,
play a part as do value-added
terminal services, such as washing,
blending and bagging bulk goods.
Professional Bulk Handling
Within a broad scope of equipment
and services, ranging from Mobile
Harbour Cranes and Portal Harbour
Cranes to Wide Span Gantries,
Gottwald Port Technology provides
Apart from the worldwide
transport of consumer goods
on container ships …
... transporting raw and process materials on
bulk cargo ships is a central mainstay of international trade
optimised solutions specially designed
for professional bulk handling operations,
such as
■ hard coal
■ ores and scrap
■ gravel and sand
■ raw and process materials, such
as fertilisers, sugar and agribulk.
High-performance, economical handling
equipment made and supplied
by Gottwald Port Technology can
easily be integrated in existing or
future workflows and infrastructures
for professional bulk handling. As
the world’s market leader in the field
of Mobile Harbour Cranes, Gottwald
is a byword for extensive know-how
and well-founded experience in
terminal logistics and in designing
efficient bulk handling facilities.

The Sky’s the Limit in Bulk Handling
With Harbour Cranes from Gottwald Port Technology
As the world’s prime supplier of
Mobile Harbour Cranes, Gottwald
Port Technology can offer the full
range of performance products with
lifting capacities of up to 120 tonnes
and radii of up to 56 m and incorporating
a complete range of four-rope
grab cranes for professional bulk
handling – up to 1,500 tph.
Four-Rope Grab Cranes
On the back of Gottwald’s success
as the world’s key supplier of HMK
Mobile Harbour Cranes for handling
containers comes the four-rope grab
version, which is becoming a common
feature of multipurpose and bulk
terminals the world over for highperformance
handling.
With a view to maximising the
terminal operators’ benefits, the
series is subject to constant review
and upgrading to cater for current
requirements in terms of lifting
capacity, crane classification and
moves per hour.
Also Available as Portal Harbour
Cranes
Gottwald’s answer to modern
demands for high-performance, railbound
bulk-handling cranes was
the development of the HSK Portal
Harbour Crane with a four-rope grab.
A comprehensive range of HSKs
provide the same benefits as those
offered by four-rope HMK grab
cranes – where the HSK portal is
adapted to suit the specific customer’s
requirements.
Diesel-Electric or Fully Electric
Drive
Gottwald’s HMK and HSK cranes are
powered by diesel-electric drive systems.
However, they can be designed
from the outset or subsequently
retrofitted to run on an existing
quay-side electric power supply. In
either case, both the diesel-electric
and external power supply alternatives
provide excellent availability and
optimised economy of use.
Gottwald Harbour Cranes are individually adapted to suit the specific workflows of industries close to the terminal – as here at
SAPEC in Portugal, where the ship, HMK 170 EG Mobile Harbour Crane, hopper and conveyor belt form a seamlessly integrated unit

Exploiting the Options with Gottwald Technologies
The Ideal Handling Equipment for Customer-Specific Applications

Setting up and expanding quayside
facilities and terminals are long-term,
cost-intensive undertakings influenced
by a number of factors. Of crucial
importance is the choice of the handling
equipment because it is this
aspect that influences the quayside
infrastructure most decisively, as
regards the rail tracks, foundations
and power supply. Depending on
the handling equipment chosen,
savings of up to 15% in infrastructure
overheads are possible. With
existing terminals, it is also essential
to include the track widths, maximum
quay loadings and conveyor
systems in the calculations for the
supply of new handling equipment.
In the case of professional bulk handling,
terminal operators can choose
from a wide range of handling
equipment options. In each specific
case, however, the operator will want
to consider and evaluate all the possible
advantages and disadvantages
of each option. The key factors are
these:
■ the type of bulk goods to be
handled
■ the proportion of total handling
taken up by bulk
■ the required handling performance.
Flexible Solutions with
Performance Rates of up to
1,500 tph
With its HMK and HSK Harbour
Cranes, Gottwald can meet all the
requirements for professional bulk
handling with customer-specific
application solutions. Both series are
based on the same proven technology
in use worldwide and are individually
to meet customer-specific requirements
in terms of quayside loadings,
portal dimensions and general local
conditions.
WSG Wide Span Gantry handling coal at the
port in Aschaffenburg, Germany
Gottwald manufactures the WSG series of
Wide Span Gantries for the specific requirements
of inland terminals. These cranes are
ideal not merely for loading and unloading
ships but also for intermodal and trimodal
handling between transport modes.
As a four-rope grab crane, the HMKs
and HSKs are designed for highperformance
handling rates of up to
1,500 tph and are, as a result, now
overlapping with fields previously
dominated by gantry grab and continuous
ship unloaders. The benefit
to the terminal operator is the comparatively
low investment volume
and the extensive range of benefits
available with the crane.
The HSK Portal Harbour Crane is
always the preferred solution where
an operator is considering replacing a
low-performance double-link luffing
crane which is several decades old.
In these circumstances, Gottwald
HSK cranes provide numerous advantages
due to their much reduced
dead weight and the more simple
construction of the boom.

The Advantages at a Glance
In view of the high costs of maintaining
a quayside infrastructure,
the need for economical operation
and for flexible, future-orientated
solutions, Mobile Harbour Crane
technology made by Gottwald is
making significant inroads in the bulk
handling market. Equipped with a
wide spectrum of features, Gottwald
cranes offer numerous advantages,
whether as Mobile HMKs or Portal
HSKs, whether as conventional tworope
versions with a motor grab or
as four-rope grab versions. These
advantages include:

Four-Rope Grab Cranes for
Professional Bulk Handling
Success at Full Speed
As a result of their versatility,
Gottwald Mobile Harbour Cranes
are the ideal choice for handling all
manner of cargoes. With regard to
the further development of its Mobile
Harbour Cranes, Gottwald has always
placed uncompromising emphasis on
meeting the needs of ever larger ships
and barges and all the other factors
influencing terminal operations, in
order to respond to terminal operators’
requirements for special-purpose
applications and higher tonnages.
The further development of the
Mobile Harbour Crane to produce
the four-rope grab crane for professional
bulk handling was a rational
step which, once again, is evidence
of Gottwald’s unswerving commitment
to retaining its technological
market-leadership.
The steel constructions were strengthened
to meet the requirements of
higher crane classification, a second
hoist was fitted and, where required,
a second slewing gear is fitted, the
roller bearing slew ring assembly and
Two hoists fitted to a
Gottwald four-rope grab crane
the rope pulleys were adapted to
meet the higher demands of tough
bulk handling – modifications and
improvements that make Gottwald’s
four-rope grab cranes the preferred
choice.
Four-Rope Grab Cranes with 30%
Improved Performance over
Motor Grabs
The considerably reduced dead
weight of the four-rope grab coupled
with the shorter closing times compared
to motor grabs mean that
Gottwald’s four-rope grabs manage
a far better payload per move.
Along with higher operating speeds,
the overall handling performance
is dramatically improved and these
cranes can out-perform a two-rope
Mobile Harbour Crane with a motor
grab by up to 30%.
One additional benefit of the fourrope
grab is its rigidity which makes
it far less susceptible to knocks and
damage when used in tough, nonstop
operation. This results in reduced
maintenance requirements and crane
downtimes are reduced to an absolute
minimum.
Even as a Four-Rope Grab Crane,
its Versatility does not Suffer
Even when constructed as four-rope
grab cranes, Gottwald Mobile
Harbour Cranes do not forfeit the
versatility for which Gottwald is
renowned and they are not restricted
to bulk handling. When fitted with
the numerous lifting devices available,
such as spreaders, equalising
spreader beams and magnets, these
cranes can quickly move containers,
semi-finished goods, pallets and all
manner of project cargoes.

Selection Criteria for Cranes
The selection of the crane size for
a specific application profile and the
choice between a two-rope and a
four-rope version are determined by
many factors.
Deciding on the Crane Size
Required
The decision as to the size of crane
needed will depend on the maximum
anticipated cargo load and, as regards
the working radius, the width of the
largest vessel to be loaded or
unloaded.
Two-Rope Crane or Four-Rope
Grab Version?
In order to decide whether a two-rope
or four-rope version is most economical,
the following points will need
clarification:
■ the required move speed in
terms of tonnes per hour or
tonnes per year
■ the proportion of total handling
taken up by bulk handling
■ any special requirements resulting
from the type of bulk materials.
Please also refer to the example on
page 8 which illustrates the choice of
crane type and size.

Given these facts, there are two
options available from Gottwald:
the HMK 330 EG and the HMK 300 E.
HMK 330 EG – If Bulk Handling
is the Major Application
If the new crane is to be used for
bulk handling for more than 80% of
the time and only handle containers
at peak times, it makes sense to
invest in a four-rope grab crane. This
model will achieve rates of up to
1,200 tph due to far higher payloads
and improved speeds in contrast with
the motor grab alternative.
HMK 300 E – If Container Handling
is the Major Operation
If it is the container handling aspect
that is of key importance, the tworope
crane and motor grab option
will provide the more economical
solution because this crane
■ is fully able to deal with the
container handling requirements
■ will achieve the required minimum
of 850 tph with the motor grab.

The HSK series of Portal Harbour
Cranes, which use a portal instead of
a rubber-tyred chassis, was developed
specifically with operation on narrow
quaysides in mind, and they represent
Gottwald’s innovative creativity.
Originally instigated as a result of a
customer’s idea but then consistently
developed to the point where they
stand alongside the HMKs as an
additional product line, these cranes
meet the needs of tough, performance-related
bulk handling.
The portal is designed individually to
take account of any conveyor belts,
train or truck traffic on the site.
Maximum mobility for these cranes,
which are rail-bound in operation, is
provided by retractable travel gear
which allows them to move from
one quay to the next. Stabiliser pads
on the portal also enable them to be
operated on quays without rails.
HSK Portal Harbour Cranes have the
same assemblies as the HMK Mobile
Harbour Cranes from the slewing
ring upwards. With lifting capacities
of up to 120 t, maximum radii of

Versatility is the Top Priority
Harbour Cranes for Use in Multipurpose Terminals
Besides terminals that specialise in
bulk handling or container handling,
there are numerous maritime and
river ports providing handling services
for all manner of cargoes. It is at
these handling sites in particular that
multiple lifting attachments are in
use for containers, project cargoes
and bulk materials.
Bulk Handling with a Motor Grab
Operators of universal terminals of
this type appreciate machines which
provide economical operation, mobility,
versatility and a high degree of
flexibility in changing the lifting attachments
between jobs.

Handling Bulk at Inland Ports
Wide Span Gantries for Port, Stack and Intermodal Handling
Coal, ores, raw and process materials
are transported from numerous
sources around the world to transcontinental
hubs on board ocean-going
vessels. From here, the goods are
distributed to power generators and
industrial enterprises via a complex
infrastructure.
WSG Wide Span Gantries
While Gottwald Mobile and Portal
Harbour Cranes are in use at both
specialised and multiple-cargo terminals
for handling cargoes from all
sizes of vessels, a new range of Wide
Span Gantries (WSG) has been available
from Gottwald since the beginning
of 2003 which provide improved
efficiency in handling bulk materials
at inland terminals, in particular.
For the Most Diverse Applications
A feature of WSG Wide Span Gantries
is their wide scope of applications.
They are used not only for loading
and unloading vessels but are ideally
suited to transshipment from one
mode of transport to another. In
detail, their suitabilities are as follows:
■ loading and unloading ships
■ intermodal handling between
rail and road
■ trimodal handling in ports
between ship, freight train and
road truck.
WSGs are also the ideal choice as
dedicated storage cranes for organising
storage yards. These newcomers
to the Gottwald family
demonstrate their flexibility best,
WSG Wide Span Gantry at the river terminal in Aschaffenburg, Germany:
Originally used for unloading coal and simultaneously managing the storage yard, …
however, in ports where they are also
used for managing storage areas
close to the quay. It is possible, for
example, in the case of coal terminals
located close to a power station, to
unload the coal from a vessel, store
different types of coal on a yard where
they are blended and fed direct to
the coal hopper.
Customer-Orientated Constructions
Each individual portal is built to meet
the specific requirements of each
customer. Cantilevers of up to 40 m
on the waterside enable all the usual
vessel sizes to be serviced not only in
inland terminals but also at smaller
maritime terminals. In addition, total
spans of 80 m provide maximum
flexibility.

to maximise bulk handling
performance.

at the Aschaffenburg terminal
A second hoist guarantees maximum
availability of the crane during

Excellent Availability
WSG Wide Span Gantries are generally
equipped with a pair of two-rope
hoists. The broad rope spread reduces
the typical swinging effect known
from handling containers and long
goods.
Where bulk handling only uses a
single hoist, the second, redundant
hoist contributes to excellent crane
availability since, in the event of a
failure of one, there is no effect on
performance.
Many Fields of Application
Gottwald WSG Wide Span Gantries
are not restricted to use in bulk
handling terminals. They are, in fact,
ideally suited to handling containers
and a wide range of general cargoes.
Superordinate stock management
systems also enable the cranes to
be seamlessly integrated in complex
logistical workflows.
Mobile Harbour Cranes at Inland
Terminals
Gottwald also offers a range of Mobile
Harbour Cranes for bulk handling at inland
terminals and smaller maritime terminals.
These are the 20-tonne HMK 60 HG and
the 44-tonne HMK 130 HG – both available
as four-rope grab cranes.

Special-Purpose Equipment
Added Value for Professional Bulk Handling
For the experts at Gottwald, just
delivering one of many types of
standard crane would simply not
be in keeping with the company’s
philosophy. Gottwald makes every
effort to adapt its cranes on site
to meet the local conditions by,
for example, fitting dust-protection
systems and grab models designed
specifically for a particular application.
HMK 300 EG with an active dust-protection
system at Ership, Huelva, Spain
Dust-Protection Systems for
Machines and Equipment
Handling bulk materials automatically
involves the creation of large amounts
of dust. These represent not only a
loss of valuable materials but also
a source of potential damage to the
cranes and equipment if fine dust is
allowed to penetrate them and interfere
with their operation.
To minimise these effects, Gottwald
installs both passive and active dustprotection
systems to prevent damage
of this kind.
Where the dust emissions at the
terminal are minimal, a passive
dust-protection system will suffice.
On Gottwald cranes, this involves
sealing off the machine room as far
as is practicable. This includes the
simple expedient of ensuring access
to the superstructure through a door.
Active Dust-Protection System for
Improved Safety
Terminals producing a high level of
dust emissions are advised to ensure
their cranes and equipment are well
protected by installing high-performance
dust-protection systems. This
involves fresh air, free of dust, being
sucked in through a pipe at the tip
of the tower before it is passed down
to the machine room through a filter.
This produces a slight overpressure
in the machine room to ensure that
no outside air and no dust can enter
the area.
Gottwald will
supply the
right grab for
the application
The Type of Bulk Material will
Determine the Type of Grab
Whether a dual scoop, scissor grab
or orange-peel grab is required will
depend on the consistence of the
bulk material, be it coal, ore or
artificial fertiliser, and must also
be matched to the crane.
To achieve maximum performance
and speed from a crane, it is crucial
to consider both the density of the
bulk material and the lifting capacity
of the crane when selecting the size
of grab.
Gottwald can provide customers
with all available kinds of grabs and
makes a point of assisting customers
with the selection of the ideal size
and type combination – especially
where different kinds of bulk are to
be handled.
