Twin-lift spreader for Skellefteå Hamn by Port-Trade
15 July 2022
Recently, VDL supplied a new twin-lift MHC spreader to north Swedish port Skellefteå Hamn, through Danish crane dealer Port-Trade.
The spreader was delivered together with a new, fully electric 125-ton capacity Gottwald GHMK 6507. Uniquely, the new MHC has no diesel engine and operates on external green power only. For travelling, the crane is equipped with a powerful battery pack.
Skellefteå Hamn already has a Gottwald MHC with a VDL spreader and they choose VDL again, based on their good experiences.
The new spreader, type CH6650FT, has a capacity of 2x32.5 tons in twin-lift mode and is capable of telescopic movement up to 45ft.
