Investment By Belfast Harbour Of World's Largest Hydraulic Crane to Aid Cargo Handling
#Belfast - An investment by Belfast Harbour costing £3m has led to the world's largest hydraulic crane that is due to be delivered in the Spring.
The 40-metre high Finnish machine reports Belfast Telegraph weighs 370 tonnes and can manage individual loads of up to 50 tonnes.
The harbour said 'Mantsinen 300M' will be the largest of its kind operating in any British or Irish port, enabling greater flexibility at the site, which handles 23 million tonnes of cargo annually.
The new crane will be capable of discharging up to 1,000 tonnes of bulk cargo such as grain or animal feed per hour.
