This is one of Israel's largest offload cranes which, together with the two currently in operation, enables fast green offloading for all grain and grains products importers. The crane's chain elevator technology significantly upgrades Ashdod Port's continuous offload capabilities onto grain trucks and conveyors. At 900 tons per hour for trucks and 1,200 tons per hour for the conveyor, these offload speeds are far higher than other cranes currently operating in Israel's maritime ports.
Shiko Janna, Ashdod Port CEO: “These new cranes and conveyor setup will significantly improve offloading capabilities for grains and grain products, which in turn improves the service we're able to provide to our loyal clients. The port company is investing extensively to ensure that our operational systems are not only the most advanced but make the port greener. This is another step that allows the port to enter the growing competition posed by activities emanating from the two new ports."
