The road to zero tailpipe emissions looks different for every terminal operator. With Konecranes, you can move toward electrification at a pace that suits your operations, thanks to a wide range of power options across its port equipment portfolio.
While electrification is the clear direction for ports globally, breakbulk and project cargo operators often face unique challenges. Some are ready to transition to fully electric equipment, while others need a step-by-step approach that accommodates practical constraints.
Konecranes addresses this reality with flexible power solutions across its lift trucks, mobile harbour cranes, and other equipment. Rather than a one-size-fits-all model, the company partners with customers to understand their needs and offer tailored options – making lower-emission operations more achievable, regardless of the starting point.
Versatile Power Options for Mobile Harbour Cranes
For more than 70 years, Konecranes Gottwald Mobile Harbour Cranes have supported terminal operations worldwide. The latest Generation 6 models offer a modular drive concept with options including onboard hybrid systems, external power supplies, or fully electric drives that integrate shore power and lithium-ion battery technology.
Operators with stable grid access are seeing real emission reductions. A prime example is Eimskip, the Icelandic maritime logistics provider, which now operates 11 Konecranes Gottwald cranes. Most of the fleet runs on electricity, and the investment in external power supplies paid for itself within just three years.
