Goeyvaerts orders two more Konecranes Gottwald mobile harbour cranes

In 2006, they expanded their offering with harbour cranes, and now operate in seven European ports: Antwerp, Ghent and Zeebrugge in Belgium, and Terneuzen, Vlissingen, Rotterdam and Amsterdam in the Netherlands. The company rents out a range of machines with mobile harbour cranes at the centre and offers customers support with strong 24/7 technical service. Their success led them to investigate acquiring more equipment, and they decided to purchase two more mobile harbour cranes.

“We already operate a large fleet of Konecranes Gottwald mobile harbour cranes, and we’ll have a total of 20 with this new order,” said Kevin Goeyvaerts, co-owner and COO of Goeyvaerts. “As rental cranes, they have to be adaptable to all kinds of applications and easy to move from one place to another. Konecranes has been able to provide us with highly mobile, flexible cranes that show impressive reliability, outstanding performance and eco-efficient drive systems.”

The two new cranes will be Konecranes Gottwald Model 7 mobile harbour cranes in the 4 rope variant G HMK 7608 B. They are multipurpose cranes that can lift up to 150 t, and they will be used by Goeyvaerts’ customers to handle bulk materials and containers as well as general and project cargo. Commissioning will be completed in Terneuzen in June 2020, and in Antwerp in September. The cranes will have built-in readiness for an external power supply, so conversion to electric operation will be easy when resources allow.

“We value long-term relationships like this one that show the trust in our products and technical expertise to bring new business with established customers,” said Alexandros Stogianidis, Benelux Sales Director for Konecranes Port Solutions.
