Cranes No. 4-10

 

Cranes 4-6 (3 cranes) which are Kocks “H” frame, high-profile luffing-boom type cranes were delivered in the late 1980′s. Cranes 7-10 (4 cranes) which are ZPMCs for the western hemisphere were delivered in the summer and fall of 1995. Cranes 7-10 were the first ZPMC cranes operational in the USA, and, the first major order in the western hemisphere. Cranes 4-6 have been converted from diesel generated power to electrical work on 13.2 KV electric power. Cranes 7-10 have all the electrical components installed but the electrical power pit and cable trench on the dock has not been constructed as of yet. As such, Cranes 7-10 are running on diesel power. Cranes 4-6 operated ABB DCS 600 drives with AC410 Advant Controller with CMS, while Crane 7-10 operate ABB Tyrak Midi II with AC410 Advant Controller with CMS.
