Tyrholm & Farstad made the order – the first crane for their new terminal – to extend their business and meet local industry demands for their logistics services. An easily adaptable, high-performance solution, the electric crane will handle container and general cargo for the Møre og Romsdal region.
“Our new terminal is an important investment for the future, so we need efficient and sustainable equipment to support it. Konecranes could provide a future-proof mobile harbor crane that combines the best available lifting technology with an innovative electric drive concept and excellent backup support from their local partner. This convinced us that the Generation 6 would be the right choice for our new operation,” says Jan Arve Hoseth, CEO, Tyrholm & Farstad AS.
“This order illustrates the strength of our long-term partnership with local partner AS BULL. Konecranes Gottwald mobile harbor cranes are popular in Norway and it’s exciting to see our new Generation 6 cranes installed in the new terminal, offering high performance, outstanding reliability and lower emissions for many years to come,” says Hans-Jürgen Schneider, Regional Sales Manager, Port Solutions, Konecranes.
This order is part of Ecolifting™, Konecranes’ continuous work to decrease the carbon footprints of our customers. From eco-optimizing diesel drives, to hybridization and fully-electrified fleets, we will continue to do more with less.
A strong focus on customers and commitment to business growth and continuous improvement make Konecranes a lifting industry leader. This is underpinned by investments in digitalization and technology, plus our work to make material flows more efficient with solutions that decarbonize the economy and advance circularity and safety.
