The new crane has a lifting capacity of 30 tons

FESCO Transport Group (a subsidiary of the Rosatom State Corporation) has equipped the Vladivostok Automobile Terminal (VAT, part of the Vladivostok Commercial Sea Port) with a new 30-ton truck crane as part of its fleet renewal program, reported the FESCO press service.

“This equipment will help speed up the process of customs inspection for weighing imported vehicles at the terminal by 25%. Furthermore, the crane is designed for loading and unloading operations at customer request and for related intra-port operations,” the statement reads.

It is noted that, unlike previous models, the truck crane is capable of performing tasks in adverse weather conditions, as it features heated fluid systems and an external power supply. Instead of analog control levers, it uses modern electronic joysticks, allowing for high precision operations, and a video camera mounted on the boom head allows an operator to monitor the cargo even in poor line of sight. Operator comfort has also enhanced by climate control. 

The crane is operated by personnel who have undergone additional training.

VAT has 15 units of specialized equipment: forklifts of varying capacities, trucks with cranes, and platform tow trucks.
“Regular fleet renewal allows us to minimize the time vehicles spend at the port and thereby increase warehouse space turnover,” the statement added.
