Energetic offshore order
October 1st 2011 Demag Cranes & Components has
won an order from Granada
Material Handling to supply 164
electric wire rope hoists for a
renewable energy project. The order
comes in the wake of a contract –
awarded to Granada by RWE
npower renewables – to design,
supply and commission crane
systems for the Gwynt y Môr
offshore wind farm.
Granada has incorporated the
Demag hoist within its specially
designed Python crane system,
which will be mounted on the wind
turbine platforms and each of two
substations.
The 1.3t SWL Demag FDR PRO
5 electric wire rope hoists have been
designed to meet the requirements
of the offshore application and
incorporate a range of features.
Hoist stability, slow lifting speeds for
precision handling, fast lifting speeds
for load take off and a 24m lift
height ensure precise hook positioning
for simple and safe unloading of
supply vessels. More articles from Demag Cranes & Components Ltd: |
