Mobile Harbour Crane Sockets for a Gottwald crane refurbishment project
We recently supplied 120 Mobile Harbour Crane Sockets to Sarens, a large international heavy lifting, transport and crane rental company, as part of a refurbishment project involving Gottwald cranes.
The project included work on a Gottwald AK 680-3 lattice boom crane. Introduced in the 1980s, the AK 680-3 was developed for heavy lifting applications. The model has been used in ports, shipyards and industrial projects worldwide. Many of these cranes remain in operation today and continue to undergo refurbishment and modernization programs.
The delivery included both open and closed socket variants, suitable for wire rope diameters ranging from 56 to 60 mm. The matching socket pairs are used to connect short sections of wire rope in the crane's boom pendant system, forming the pendant assemblies that support the boom. These pendant lines are separate from the crane's hoisting system and are not used for lifting operations.
Our MHCS (Mobile Harbour Crane Socket) systems are compatible with various Gottwald crane models, including the AK 680-3.
