In Europe, the latest 160-ton giant crawler loader delivered by SANY Heavy Industry is showing its skills in a busy coal port, and its excellent energy-efficient operation mode has won wide praise and high evaluation from customers. This innovative equipment has not only reshaped the efficiency benchmark of port operations, but also set a green model in terms of energy saving and emission reduction, contributing to the construction of environmentally friendly ports.

“The operation of this large-scale mechanical device is not only stable and efficient, with impeccable safety performance, but also shows extraordinary strength in energy saving and consumption reduction, which is an important partner on our way to a green port.” The port terminal manager praised so.

In the face of the booming bulk logistics industry, although the kangaroo portal crane was once the backbone of port loading and unloading, but with the shipowners and wharf owners on the operational efficiency and environmental performance requirements of the increasing demand, SANY Shipbuilding carefully developed SMHC160 crawler loader came into being to lead the industry change with its unmatched advantages.

Excellent Safety and Efficiency

Safety is the unchanging core of SANY's equipment design. SMHC160 adopts advanced dual-engine redundancy design to ensure continuous operation in case of unilateral failure, and is equipped with self-developed dynamic anti-tip-over technology and intelligent fire extinguishing system, which guards operation safety in all aspects. Its strong physique - a solid body of 175 tons, equipped with enhanced tracks and thrust wheels - easily carries a heavy load of up to 260 tons, demonstrating extraordinary load-carrying capacity.

In terms of efficiency, SMHC160 is even more outstanding. Equipped with 7 cubic meters of large-capacity shell-type grab, 90-degree rotation takes less than 30 seconds, and the operating efficiency soars to 800 tons per hour, nearly twice as much as that of the traditional MQ4035 gantry crane, which greatly improves the efficiency of port operations.

Excellent throughput and high flexibility

With a 6-meter wide gantry crawler chassis, the machine demonstrates strong passing ability, whether crossing train tracks or dump truck areas. In-situ 360-degree rotation and up to 40% gradeability give it unrivaled flexibility and adaptability. With the optional 26m or 35m boom, the maximum working radius covers up to 36m, and the working height and depth reaches 38m and 16m respectively, which can easily meet the loading and unloading requirements of ships under 70,000 tons.

Green energy saving, leading the future

In terms of energy saving and consumption reduction, SMHC160 also performs well. It adopts the design of engine directly connected to the main pump, which effectively reduces the transmission loss by 12%; the integrated energy recovery system and advanced electronically controlled positive flow control technology further enhance the energy-saving efficiency by 15% and reduce the overall energy consumption by 5%. The application of this series of green technologies not only reduces operating costs, but also positively responds to the global call for energy saving and emission reduction.

To summarize, SANY SMHC160 crawler loader, with its excellent performance of high efficiency, safety and energy saving, perfectly interprets the innovative strength and responsibility of SANY as an industry leader. It is taking an unprecedented stance to drive port operations toward a more efficient and environmentally friendly future. With the continuous development of the global maritime industry, SANY will continue to plough into the fields of technological innovation and sustainable development to provide global customers with more excellent solutions.
