SENNEBOGEN 6130 RHD in Container Handling in Moldova

Only the Danube separates the European Union from its neighbouring states the Ukraine and Moldova. The Rhine-Main-Danube waterway through to the Black Sea has been established as a major trade route for decades. At the Giurgiulesti International Free Port (IFHG), 20 and 40-foot containers, general and bulk cargo and grab goods have been loaded and unloaded regularly with a SENNEBOGEN 6130 since January 2012. As the only direct sea freight port for seagoing vessels and inland navigation vessels, Giurgiulesti is an important hub and the only connection between the Republic of Moldova and the Black Sea. In January 2012, the delivery of the first container officially marked the opening of the new cargo- and container terminal at the port. The SENNEBOGEN 6130 with crawler chassis unloads the feeder ships as they arrive and is used flexibly for all different loading tasks. Equipped with a Kaup spreader, the machine can process up to 25 containers per hour. But bulk cargo, piece goods and grab goods can also be unloaded easily thanks to the quick-change grabs, including a clamshell motor grab from Kröger. Danube Logistics is extremely satisfied with the 6130 and praises the versatility and easy handling of the machine in difficult port operations in particular. Thanks to the crawler chassis, the SENNEBOGEN can be used quickly over the entire site. "The machine is easy and intuitive to control, reacts quickly and precisely and helps to unload and load the incoming ships quickly", says manager Thomas Moser praising the benefits of the SENNEBOGEN 6130. The local service partner Terra Romania Utilaje de Constructii SRL is a competent contact partner on site and ensures regular service.
