Konecranes is set to enhance container handling capabilities in the Republic of the Congo.

The company has secured an order for 11 lift trucks and one mobile harbor crane for a container terminal, with deliveries scheduled for the second half of 2026. This order includes five Konecranes Liftace 4532 TCE5 reach stackers, six Liftace E 6/7 ECC9 empty container handlers, and one Konecranes Gottwald ESP.7 mobile harbor crane.

New Equipment to Boost Terminal Operations

The container terminal, located on the Republic of the Congo’s west coast, is expanding its operations to accommodate increasing container volumes across Central Africa. The new reach stackers will enhance container handling efficiency, while the empty container handlers will improve stacking and repositioning operations.

The Konecranes Gottwald ESP.7 mobile harbor crane will facilitate container and general cargo handling at the quay. With a lifting capacity of up to 125 tons and an outreach of up to 51 meters, it can serve vessels up to post-Panamax size.
