PRESS RELEASE

Demag Cranes supplies Mobile Harbor Cranes to Canada for bulk handling

■ Port Technology segment’s position in bulk-handling market further consolidated
■ First Gottwald Mobile Harbour Cranes with 4-rope grabs for Canada

Düsseldorf, 7 June 2011. Demag Cranes has received an order to supply two Mobile Harbour Cranes to Canada. The two identical machines are 4-rope grab cranes for professional bulk handling. Vale Inco Limited (Vale), the second-largest mining and metals company in the world, a new Demag Cranes customer, will be using the cranes for handling nickel and limestone at its terminal in Long Harbour (southeast Newfoundland and Labrador).


“The bulk market offers tremendous potential and has, for some years, been a focal point in our Port Technology segment,” emphasised Thomas H. Hagen, Member of the Management Board of Demag Cranes AG and COO. “Around a quarter of the Gottwald Harbour Cranes sold last year are for professional bulk handling. The considerable strategic importance to Demag Cranes of the bulk-handling market is also reflected in the acquisition of the UK company DB Controls. That company has renowned capabilities in software and advisory services in the field of automating bulk-handling equipment. This acquisition has further extended our range of services in this key segment of the market.”

Additional information:

G HMK 6407 B Mobile Harbour Crane

The G HMK 6407 B Mobile Harbour Crane with the 4-rope grab is a variant of the Model 6 Harbour Crane. Designed to withstand the rigours of high-end use, Model 6 Harbour Cranes are for high-performance applications and thus achieve enhanced handling rates. This 4-rope grab G HMK 6407 B variant has a 50-tonne grab curve in A8 classification and, depending on the local conditions, achieves handling rates of up to 1000 tph. The machine can service bulk carriers up to Capesize.

Four-rope grab cranes for professional bulk handling
The 4-rope grab variant, designed specifically for the professional handling of bulk materials, has become a firm favourite worldwide among terminal operators at universal and special purpose terminals as an alternative to custom-built equipment. Customers profit from low specific investment costs for acquisition, operation and creation of the entire quay infrastructure and short delivery and erection times. For individual requirements, special equipment, e.g. dust protection systems, are available. The 4-rope grab variant of the Gottwald Mobile Harbour Crane, as well as the Portal Harbour Cranes and Floating Cranes derived from it, still retains its versatility. Equipped with a broad range of lifting gear, these machines can load and unload any type of cargo.

G HMK 6407 B for Vale, Canada
The two new G HMK 6407 B Gottwald cranes for Vale are to enter service early in 2012 in Long Harbour in the southeast of Newfoundland and Labrador and will handle nickel and limestone.

Like all other Gottwald Harbour Cranes, these two machines are fitted with the Visumatic® crane management system. Among the many extras included there is an active anti-dust system, a specially customised propping system and a high tower. The scope of supply also includes four large grabs, an automatic spreader and a fixed spreader.


The decision to opt for Gottwald’s 4-rope grab crane was influenced by the convincing state-of-the-art technology available from Demag Cranes and the fact that a large number of these crane variants have been in use worldwide in the most diverse terminals for some years.


“We are proud to have won such a prestigious, worldwide industry leader as Vale as a new customer,” enthused Robert Histon, Regional Director North America. “Having supplied many Mobile Harbour Cranes for container and general cargo handling to Canada, we are particularly pleased to have received an order for a bulk application.”

KBK Workstation Crane Enhancement.

Demag will Demag KBK Crane Construction Kitbe introducing an addition to our popular KBK workstation crane construction kits that increases load capacity and spanning capability. The new track profile will work for both suspension cranes and monorails.
The addition to the traditional system is KBK II-H’s steel profile section that will fit between the KBK II and KBK III size sections, while remaining compatible with existing systems. The KBK II-H profile makes it possible to increase distances between suspensions on crane runways for spans of up to 28 feet and loads more than 1200 lb. The section also features a rigid rail joint capable of being subjected to a full load at any track position. The track will continue to provide reliable overhead material handling, smooth running for trolleys, and pendulating suspension that absorbs horizontal movement.
It will feature compatible KBK parts such as travelling, extending and overhead cranes. Demag’s modular crane construction kit is designed for adaptability. The structure is lightweight and the bridges are flexible. Demag says it is relatively easy to assemble. 




TKF Continuous Vertical LiftOur DCS-Pro electric chain hoist line is packed with standard features that allow operators to handle and precisely position critically sensitive loads with ease.  These include an infinitely-variable speed control with soft starting speeds as low as 3.15 inches/minute; a 1:200 control ratio that produces gentle positioning in addition to high speed travel; automatic switchover to low speed prior to reaching the upper/lower stop; acceleration and braking ramps to prevent load sway; and up to 90% higher nominal speed for partial load or no-load operations.
Fully Operational Unit At ProMat!

Designed with safety, convenience and low maintenance in mind, the entire family of DCS-Pro chain hoists includes as standard 24V control voltage and operating limit switches for improved safety and reliability, a brake-coupling system which ensures that loads are held securely in all operating situations, and a speed monitored slipping clutch for effective cut-off on overload allow safe operation.  The DCS also comes standard with "plug & lift" connections that make the hoist simple to install, while the gearbox, brake and slipping clutch are maintenance-free for up to 10 years, while the modular chain drive can be quickly and easily replaced without having to remove the motor or gear parts. 


Demag DC-Com Electric Chain HoistOur DC-Com electric chain hoists are feature packed work horses suitable for a wide range of applications.  Standard on the DC-Com is a two speed motor for accurate positioning, plug and play electrical connections to simplify installation and commissioning, and an adjustable height control pendant that improves safety and ergonomics.  Also included is an overload protection system with slip clutch and limit switches, quick disconnect connections, and an easy-to-access control panel for simple and efficient maintenance. 
Demag Cranes & Components is the first manufacturer to receive the Hoist Manufacturer Institute’s (HMI) Certification for its DC line of electric chain hoists.  HMI is a trade association affiliated with the Material Handling Industry of America (MHIA).
The DC-Com is available in 5 different capacities ranging from 275 lbs (125 kg) up to 4400 lbs (2000 kg).  All models easily connect to a variety of Demag’s popular trollies and electric trolley drives, and are easily integrated with the Demag KBK crane construction rail system.
Ergonomic features include a control cable with ten feet of adjustment for optimum pendant positioning, a single fall                    chain design and upper and lower limit switch.  



Demag DC-Pro Electric Chain HoistOur line of DC-Pro electric chain hoists includes many standard safety and performance features that allow users to achieve superior levels of performance, safety and productivity through reduced downtime, increased duty cycles, easy maintenance and improved ergonomics.  This hoist iscertified by HMI ( Hoist Manufacturers Institute ) to meet the ANSI B30.16 and ASME HST 1 -1999 design and safety standards for electric chain hoists.
Unique to the DC-Pro is an extended service life; a 20% improvement in comparison to conventional HMI 4 or 2m FEM classified chain hoists. This results in increased time between service intervals and general overhauls.  Many components are maintenance free for up to 10 years.  These features allow the hoist to be more productive and result in lower operating costs. 
Safety features include brakes that do not require adjustment and clutches that provide protection against overload and slippage.  The brake-coupling system ensures that the load is held securely in position and cannot drop.  The slip clutch monitor automatically shuts the hoist down if the slip clutch torque is exceeded, preventing the slip clutch from wearing out due to operator error.
The DC-Pro Chain Hoist is available in 275 - 11,000 lb. capacities with two different control configurations: standard with a pendant control or as the DCM-Pro with Demag’s Manulift control pendant for safe and easy handling of loads with only one hand.

Overhead bridge crane

The Opportunity:
Blume Steel Service Ltd. is using wire rope hoists on a Demag Crane to transport and handle steel sheets and plates.  The Demag double girder overhead traveling crane is "gently" handling heavy steel plates when needed, but also travels fast when required. The customer also depends on a high level of reliability for the crane, which is in continuous operation 24 hours, every day.



The Solution:
Demag 20 Ton DRPRO hoists on a Demag crane. The two hoists are equipped with 2-speed lift, and mounted on a double girder top running trolley. The crane is a top running double girder configuration utilizing a box girder. The application also required that the travel motions be equipped with variable speed for ease when transporting the plates.

·         The trolley and bridge speeds are both infinitely adjustable and can change as required by the operator.  This allows travel to be fine-tuned to correspond with each individual requirement. This also allows adjustments to occur depending on the need for positioning or production throughput requirements.

·         The double girder overhead traveling bridge crane has a total load capacity of 20 tons and can be used to the full capacity in more than one way. The operator can use the system in the simultaneous mode or one hoist at a time in the independent mode. This option is often called an “S&I” option. When the hoists are working together, the controls limit each 20 ton hoists to 10 tons only. When the operator choose independent mode the system renders the other 20 ton hoist inoperable, and only allows the use of one 20 ton hoist at a time for safety.

·         The tandem hoists where needed to utilize the customer’s existing magnet spreader beam. The load capacity of the spreader was two times eight tons, and the configuration met the requirement.

Wrap Up:
The operators are very pleased with the
ease of the crane and the hoists.
Continuous reliable operation has been yet another
benefit.
