Specialists of SMM-Electro LLC (a company of SMM Group) have completed modernization of two Kondor portal cranes for Sea Port of Saint-Petersburg JSC, says press center of the stevedoring company.
To expand the equipment functionality, the cranes underwent modernization allowing for operation of the lifting equipment with a hook assembly, magnet station and an automatic extension spreader. The works included comprehensive modernization of control systems, installation of a modern control chair with command controllers for lifting mechanisms, derricking, turning and moving operations as well as installation of an electric cable drum.
