Mobile harbour hoppers

Demag Cranes’ subsidiary,
Gottwald Port Technology, has
supplied two identical G HMH 750
DS Mobile Harbour Hoppers to the
Port of Tyne, Newcastle. Each of the
hoppers has a capacity of 750t per
hour and they are being used to
unload bulk carriers with cargoes of
wood pellets.

The order follows the
introduction by cargo handling
machinery specialist, Gottwald Port
Technology, of various types and
sizes of hoppers to its product range.

The company has also drawn
together its bulk handling activities
to create its International Dry Bulk
Competence Centre (IDBCC) based
in Banbury.
Brian Reeve, chief technical
officer at Port of Tyne, said:
“Gottwald’s hoppers comply with
our stringent environmental
requirements whilst providing
robust and reliable handling.”
