Liebherr USA Co. has delivered a new Ship-To-Shore (STS) crane to PSA Penn Terminals, offering local support and proximity to customers.
Liebherr has a strong track record for the supply of STS cranes to the US, with over 20 cranes in recent years.
Winston Ziegler, Liebherr’s Head of Sales, Maritime Cranes at Liebherr USA Co., said: “Our team in the US provides support through our local Liebherr USA service programme”.
Ziegler added that Liebherr is confident that this new crane will help PSA Penn Terminals to continuously meet the needs of its customers with security, efficiency, and reliability.
“Liebherr has been designing and manufacturing container cranes from our base in Ireland for over 50 years,” Ziegler explained.
He continued by saying that his department leverages the strength of its Liebherr companies to manufacture the drive control systems, electronics, and other mechanical components.
