TYPE DATABASE - Mobile Tower Cranes Coles never made what we now call tower cranes or fixed base cranes. What they did produce were mobile port cranes, semi tower high reach luffing cranes and container handling cranes. These were available in two different types; self propelled mobile cranes; and truck mounted mobile cranes. Self-propelled mobile cranes were designed for use where only a limited amount of travelling was required. Coles mobiles were available in two models. They are each available on two models. They are each capable of lifting containers on and of trucks: travelling with loaded containers suspended from the hook; stacking containers; and discharging loaded containers from up to 10m (33ft) outreach. The cranes could also be used for the discharge of general cargo of up to 40m (130ft) radius and for handling heavy cargo up to 40 tons (Vigorous Mobile) or 90 tonnes (M2000 Mobile). Truck mounted mobile cranes are, as their name implies mounted on chassis designed to travel at fast highway speeds when required. The mass introduction of container shipping in the late 1960s lead to Developing the 1000 series to accomodate the heaver lifting required. Coles 1000 series trucks were available in four models, capable of discharging loaded containers from vessels of over 30m (98ft) beam, according to model. In addition, they can handle heavy cargo of unit loads up to 100 tonnes (Coles Colossus 2000 HLT). 150 tonnes (Coles Colossus 4000 HLT), 240 tonnes (Coles Colossus 5000 HLT) or 260 tonnes (Coles Colossus 6000 HLT). General cargo can be also discharged at up to 50m (165ft) radius. CLICK on any IMAGE of these to go to a page dealing with that type of unit. This will have photographs and any details available. |
