With an annual total freight throughput of 45.8 million tonnes in 2019, the port of Zeebrugge is more than just a maritime crossroads. In recent years, substantial investments have been made to expand the North Sea Port and convert it into an ultra-modern logistics platform.
Versatility
To make the reloading of steel profiles more efficient and safe, an adapted hoisting beam was needed. It was important that the hoisting beam was easy to transport within the port. This could possibly be with the help of forklift. In addition, the hoisting beam had to be able to hoist 90 tons, and do this with various attachment options.
The hoisting beam has holes over the entire width at the bottom so the connection devices can be changed quickly and safely. The hoisting beam can then be used for different lengths of steel profiles in no time at all.
Grade 10
Using Grade 10 chains to attach the load also saves significant weight. The final result is a hoisting beam that meets the highest requirements, promotes efficiency and is always safe.
