THE Port of Virginia has ordered three Konecranes rail-mounted gantries (RMG) for its Norfolk International Terminals (NIT) facility, reports the American Journal of Transportation.
The RMGs will be remotely operated from a control centre, so they will not have cabins. They will lift containers 1-over-2 high, handling double-stacked trains, with a lifting height of 12.2 metres (40'), a span of 23.5 metres (77') and an outreach of 13 metres (42' 8'').
This follows the deployment of four Konecranes RMGs of a similar design at the Virginia International Gateway (VIG). The cranes will be delivered by the end of 2023.
The Port of Virginia is a longstanding Konecranes customer, with a fleet of 116 Konecranes Automated RMG (ARMG) cranes working at its Norfolk International and Virginia International container terminals.
The new cranes will work in the same way, loading and unloading trains and terminal trucks to serve the port's customers in the Midwest and Ohio Valley.
