Product lines
The SHI Group responds to various needs ranging from small to medium size ordinary overhead traveling cranes, to large-scale ladle cranes.
These cranes are installed on wharfs. The optimum model will be proposed according to the application.
For example, Goliath cranes are in active use for the transport of large blocks at shipbuilding yards, The optimum model will be proposed according to the application.
The Sybrid System achieves a reduction in fuel consumption by about 60% when mounted on transfer cranes, etc. Installation is possible on existing equipment as well.
Optimum equipment can be selected for the continuous type, from the bucket elevator type, twin belt type and the vertical screw type, according to the materials handled, vessels, and unloading capacities.
This system handles coal and mineral ore in an efficient manner when stocking, unloading or loading.
The optimum model will be proposed according to the application.
