The Montreal Gateway Terminals Partnership (MGT) ordered four ship to shore (STS) container cranes to the Cast Container Terminal in Montreal, to be supplied by Liebherr.

The new STS cranes will have a safe working load of 65 tonnes under twin lift spreader with an outreach of 55.38 m, a span of 15.24 m and a backreach of 18.29 m and will be supplied to the Cast Terminal in Q3 2021. The new equipment features a curve going gantry system to allow the cranes to move and operate on two interconnected angular berths.

It is not the first time the MGT reaches out to Liebherr. Over the past 20 years, the machinery supplier provided the MGT with five STS container cranes and 18 rubber tyre gantry cranes.

David Griffin, Managing Director – Sales, Liebherr, said, "We are delighted with this latest order from Montreal Gateway Terminals Partnership. It is very rewarding for us to see the existing Liebherr equipment help drive productivity at MGT and we are looking forward to seeing these new cranes, along with the recently delivered ten ERTGs provide many decades of exceptional service to MGT."

Michael Fratianni, CEO, MGT, added, "MGT is very pleased to team up once again with Liebherr for this important investment in energy-efficient cranes that will support our efforts to optimize productivity and improve our service offering to our customers."
