Transped is part of the Italian FHP Group, one of the leading national port operators in the bulk sector and it has four decades of specialised steel handling experience at the major northern Italian manufacturing industry hub, Marghera Port.
The Gottwald ESP.7 mobile harbour crane will be delivered during the second quarter 2025.
Having had a Generation 5 mobile harbour crane in operation for many years, Transped has now opted to upgrade to the crane’s natural successor: the Konecranes Gottwald ESP.7 Mobile Harbour Crane.
Mauro Marchiori, Executive Director of the terminal in Venice spoke to the decision to upgrade.
“Transped handles more than two million tonnes of steel each year, so we need equipment that ensures precision, stability and high lifting capacity over long periods,” he said.
“With its extended working radius, this latest generation Konecranes Gottwald mobile harbour crane will significantly enhance our efficiency across different types of steel cargo.”
The Konecranes Gottwald ESP.7 mobile harbour crane is designed with a higher crane classification that supports a longer service life – potentially up to double that of its predecessor for some applications.
The ESP. 7 Konecranes Gottwald Mobile harbour cranes are designed for cargo handling to serve vessels up to post-Panamax class. They have a working radius of up to 51-metres lifting capacities of up to 125-tonnes and lifting speeds of up to 120 metres per minute.
Gino Gherri, Regional Sales Manager at Konecranes said, “Konecranes has a long history with Transped and they have seen how our mobile harbour cranes consistently perform at a high level.”
“The ESP.7 crane combines the versatility and power that Transped needs for specialised steel handling in the industrial port environment.”
