Sherwin Alumina

Description of the E-Cranes When Sherwin Alumina needed to find a replacement for their old Continous Ship Unloaders, research showed E-Crane® to be the perfect and reliable solution for their bauxite ship unloading needs. While the CSU’s are impressive mechanical designs, the reality of constant and high cost of maintenance along with poor reliability has caused major unloading delays and brought about huge demurrage costs. The two E-Cranes were purchased fully assembled ready for pick-up at an offsite location for less than half of the cost of one of the old CSU’s new in the 1980’s....

Van Heyghen Recycling 3

This is the third successful installation of an E-Crane® for Van Heyghen Recycling, part of the group Galloo. There are now seven E-Crane® balanced cranes operational at the different Galloo sites in Belgium and France.

The E-Crane® is used for stockpiling the scrap to a height of over 25 meters, necessary to ensure there is enough scrap ready for the loading of Handymax ships. Since the arrival of the new E-Crane®, unloading barges...

Cargill Schelde-Natie

Description of the E-Crane Schelde-Natie realized a new offloading project in the port of Antwerp in cooperation with Cargill. The goal is to discharge 575,000 tons of oilseeds per year. In order to achieve this goal, Schelde-Natie replaced an existing grain elevator with an Equilibrium crane to offload vessels and a “bulk-flow” system to discharge rail cars. After careful study of the options and excellent references for the E-Crane®, Schelde-Natie contacted E-Crane®. Another plus for E-Crane® is the fact that two E-Cranes are operating successfully since September 2000 at...

CCB

Description of the E-Crane Faced with increasing repair costs, poor reliability and low productivity, the CCB Company needed a new way to handle material. Changes had to be made in a short period of time to stay operational and reduce costs. The E-Crane® not only offloads barges and feeds several hoppers, but the increased reach and stock-out capacity eliminates the need for additional hoppers and conveyor belts. This crane is mounted on a low portal on crawlers allowing the crane to work and maneuver in narrow spaces in the yard and along the dock. The crane has been in service for...
