TeichmannGruppe successfully masters large-scale conversion of 50t container crane for global logistics company in the port of Neuss

In the course of a conversion of the customer's transshipment facility in the port of Neuss, the existing container crane with a lifting capacity of 50t also had to be adapted. The onshore jib of the crane was extended from 14m to 18.5m. In addition, the crane received, among other things, new crane wheels, new LED lighting, a system for load measurement as well as an counter travel cut-off and collision protection device - all done without disturbing running production at the terminal.

In order to enlarge the crane's onshore working area, the existing 14m long crane jib was first dismantled by TEICHMANN CRANES at the port of Neuss and then modified and extended at the companys location in Essen following a static calculation. At the customer's request, a new staircase was designed and manufactured in Essen and replaced with the previous spiral staircase on the crane.

New crane wheels, new LED lighting and new cable carrier

At the same time, the service colleagues of the  from Duisburg worked on the container crane and carried out some modernisations. The crane received 24 new crane wheels, new trolley wheels as well as a new motor cable reel and a new cable carrier, which was adapted to the extended crane bridge. In addition, the crane's entire work area lighting was converted to modern LED technology.

Counter travel cut-off and collision protection device for more occupational safety
In preparation for the expansion of the terminal with additional cranes at the customers terminal in the port of Neuss, a counter-travel cutoff to the neighbouring crane was installed as well as a collision protection device, which detects obstacles such as people, reach stackers or containers in the rail area and automatically stops the crane with the help of four 2D scanners.

New load measurement system and LWL system for wireless data exchange

For weighing containers and load measurement, the crane also received a container weighing system that complies with the weighing tolerance in accordance with the SOLAS directive. A newly installed LWL (fiber optic cable) system enables wireless data exchange between the crane and the control center. A remote control of the crane is also possible with this.

Teamwork of the TeichmannGroup

In the course of the conversion and modernisation measures, which were carried out by up to eight employees of the TeichmannGroup without disrupting the remaining terminal operations, the crane also received a maintenance in accordance with DGUV V3 regulations and was then handed over to the customer after a successful expert acceptance test.

The crane system at the Neuss terminal is used to handle 20, 30, 40 and 45 foot containers, as well as ISO and high-cube containers in 3-shift operation.
