The Industry's Voice For Over 30 Years

Services remain on track

Continuing its long association with national rail fright operator, Direct Rail Services (DRS), KONECRANES reports it has manufactured and installed a 110T fixed goliath crane at a new facility in the North of Scotland.

As a rail freight provider to the nuclear fuels industry, DRS is using the goliath crane, which provides a lifting height of 11.9 metres, to tranship flasks from road to rail transport for delivery to a nuclear reprocessing plant in Cumbria.

Spanning some 21 metres and having an overall length of 24 metres, the double girder goliath crane was installed by a team of six crane service engineers.

In order to make the terminal fully operational in accordance with its contractual obligations, and despite facing extreme weather conditions , the Konecranes team spent a combined total of 17 days onsite and delivered two days ahead of schedule.
