CHS MYRTLE GROVE

CHS recently completed several upgrades of their export terminal in Myrtle Grove, Louisiana, including the addition of a 1500C Series E-Crane. The upgrades to the facility were part of a major expansion and modernization project at the terminal. The E-Crane is pedestal mounted, and used for offloading grain barges to keep material moving efficiently through the facility. With this addition, CHS increased their handling capacity of corn, soybeans, wheat, soybean meal, and DDG by 30%. The electric E-Crane helps support the terminal’s increased handling capacity by providing reliable, high...

APICAL

DESCRIPTION OF THE E-CRANE In April 2024, Apical reached a significant milestone with the successful commissioning of their two new 700B Series. E-Cranes at the SDS 2 Coal jetty in Dumai, Sumatra. The dual-crane configuration enables the efficient unloading of 8,000-ton barges without requiring barge shifting, and together the cranes achieve a combined unloading rate exceeding 700 tons per hour. Each crane functions independently with a dedicated hopper, which is connected by conveyor belts to the coal stockpile supplying Apical’s power plant. The project was executed under the supervision...

 KENCANA MURIA JAYA 

KMJ first started to operate their E-Crane in 2019 at Muara Berau outer anchorage in East Kalimantan close to Samarinda. As a result of the successful operation during the first couple of years, in early 2022 the decision was taken to invest in a second identical floating E-Crane.  Both crane barges were built in Batam, after which the cranes were installed in the same shipyard and towed to Kalimantan.  Experience shows that the floating E-Cranes can comfortably be used in wave heights of up to 2.5m while rope cranes in the same area need to cease operation at wave heights of 1.5...

BAYAN RESOURCES

DESCRIPTION OF E-CRANE  Two 2000 Series E-Cranes are operating at Balikpapan Coal Terminal, owned by Bayan Resources.

Design capacity of each crane is 1,500 tons per hour and up to 400,000 tons per month is being unloaded with one E-Crane.  Both cranes are also...
