KONECRANES-
MUNCKLOADER
GANTRY CRANES FOR OPEN BULK
& GENERAL CARGO/CONTAINER
CARRIERS
The Konecranes-Munckloader gantry cranes
travelling along the rails on the ship deck are
used to load and unload containers, unit cargo
and bulk material. Vessels are typically equipped
with two cranes working independently and
reaching an unloading capacity of approximately
2,000 tons/h each.

The heavy-duty, high-capacity electrically

operated gantry cranes have the following
features:
> rigid A-frame type construction
> rack and pinion drives for gantry, trolley, shift
trolley and shifting cab movements
> all machinery well protected and located inside
structures
> rain protection with fixed roof above crane and
sliding roofs above the jibs
> retractable curtains at both sides and at both
ends
> jibs swinging in and parked between the main
beams enabling jibbing without moving the
cranes from the parked position
> hatch cover operation remotely controlled from
platform on the crane leg

A wide range of lifting equipment can be

attached to the turntable for many cargo-
handling functions. The design allows for a
variety of cargoes, such as:
> pulp
> ore
> grain
> cement
> paper
> packaged lumber
> coal
> project cargoes
> containers

The cranes have the most modern design with

regard to safety, operational efficiency, reliability
and serviceability. Particular attention is paid
to ensuring a long service lifetime in a marine Typical technical data:

The gantry crane is designed for loading and

travels along the rails on the ship deck. The crane
is equipped with an automatic loading device,
which hoists up or launches the barges aft the
ship. The same crane transfers the barges into or
from the ship’s cargo space.
The automatic locating of barges is controlled by
a computer.
The crane handles barges with a length of
18.745 m, a width of 9.5 m and a maximum
load of 500 tons. The crane is provided with sea
