Friday, October 11, 2013 Konecranes aids waste handling at New York Container TerminalThe New York Container Terminal has ordered two RTGs and two RMG cranes from Konecranes for use in moving containers of municipal solid waste from New York City, according to a company announcement. Waste handling is a new area for Konecranes. The new cranes, to be delivered to the Staten Island terminal by the end of 2014, will be part of New York City's solid waste management program. The value of the order has not been revealed. "This is a very exciting contract for us, a breakthrough in fact, and will open up a new business segment for our container handling cranes," says Jussi Suhonen, Konecranes' Sales Director, Port Cranes in the Americas. City waste will be packed into specially designed containers and transported via barge over the Hudson River to NYCT's Staten Island terminal. The new RMG cranes will unload the sealed containers at the terminal, where the RTG cranes will load them onto trains to be be hauled to energy-from-waste facilities. The cranes have a lifting capacity of 50 tons.
