Port Esbjerg has bolstered its position in handling modular and project cargo with the addition of a powerful new mobile harbour crane.

The LHM 600 crane, boasting a single-lift capacity of 208 tonnes, joins an already impressive fleet at Esbjerg, making it one of Europe’s largest collections of such equipment. This brings the port’s total number of LHM mobile harbour cranes to five.

Twin power for oversized cargo

Esbjerg’s true lifting muscle lies in its crane fleet’s twin-lift capability. Combining the two LHM 800 cranes allows the port to handle a staggering 600 tonnes in tandem, a capability highly attractive for handling oversized modular cargo and project goods.
