MADAGASCAR International Container Terminal Services Ltd (MICTSL), the African subsidiary of International Container Terminal Services Inc. (ICTSI), has taken delivery of four Noell Crane Systems' rubber tyre gantries.
The gantry acquisition is intended to upgrade the current reach stacker handling system. They each have one-over-five stacking capability and are designed to enable high capacity stacking in the yard. They are also said to be low maintenance, environmentally friendly with low emissions.
They feature a fully electric trolley system with electric winches, anti-sway and electric jacks trim to provide precision skew and auto-steering. These are supported by a differential global positioning system operating in conjunction with a local area network.
Ease of maintenance is a major feature in the overall design, and is enhanced through remote crane monitoring from the terminal workshop facility. As part of the maintenance reduction effort, Noell Crane Services worked closely with MICTSL in the training of MICTSL maintenance staff.
Philippines-based, ICTSI operates container terminals on six continents.
