PK Terminal relies on the SENNEBOGEN 875 E Hybrid

EFFICIENT PORT OPERATIONS WITH THE 165 T MATERIAL HANDLER
In the heart of Estonia’s largest port, PK Terminal OÜ relies on innovative solutions for efficient and fuel-saving port handling. Various SENNEBOGEN machines are used to handle different types of cargo, including two units of the powerful 875 E Hybrid material handler supplied by ScanBalt Crane OÜ.
PK Terminal, a major company within the Palgard Crane Group, operates two quays in the port of Muuga, the largest and deepest cargo port in Estonia. Thanks to its depth and modern terminals, the port of Muuga is one of the most modern ports in Europe.
When the new terminal opened, the experienced group of companies was faced with the challenge of handling ships of all sizes — from small vessels to Handymax and Panamax ships. In addition, the situation required a track-based machine to move the machine from one quay to another without exceeding the maximum weight. To meet these challenges, the PK Terminal relies on innovative solutions and integrates various SENNEBOGEN machines, including two 875 E Hybrid material handlers.
POWERFUL MACHINES FOR DEMANDING PORT TASKS
With a reach of 29 metres and an operating weight of 165 tonnes, as well as numerous configuration options and tailor-made gantry and pylon solutions, the SENNEBOGEN 875 E Hybrid proves to be the ideal material handler for demanding general cargo and bulk material handling in the port.
The impressive performance data enables the terminal to handle a wide range of cargo with maximum precision and speed.

VERSATILE EQUIPMENT FOR DIFFERENT TYPES OF FREIGHT
The port of Muuga plays an important role in the Estonian transit business, with PK Terminal being the largest bulk cargo terminal, handling around one million tonnes of different cargo annually. A selection of grab buckets, hooks and traverses ensures efficient loading and unloading of various cargoes such as granite stone, grain products, wood pellets, steel products or fertilizers. This versatility allows PK Terminal to cover all customer needs.
OPTIMIZED LOADING SPEEDS AND THROUGHPUTS
Thanks to careful planning and the use of state-of-the-art technology, the customer can achieve impressive cycle times of around 40 seconds and, depending on the type of freight, 70 to 90 cycles per hour. Thanks to the SENNEBOGEN Green Hybrid System, fuel consumption has been reduced by up to 35%.
MAXIMUM FLEXIBILITY WITH MINIMUM SPACE REQUIREMENTS
The choice of the SENNEBOGEN 875 E Hybrid material handler offers the PK Terminal not only performance, but also flexibility. The ability to switch between different quays without relying on rails allows the terminal to adapt to changing conditions.
In addition, the machine’s numerous features ensure that cargo can be pushed into the most remote nooks and crannies to make the most of the available space.
COMFORT AND RELIABILITY FOR OPERATORS AND MECHANICS
In addition to impressive performance, the port material handler is characterized by comfort and reliability for both operator and mechanic. Precise controls, smooth power delivery across the entire load chart and easy maintenance make it the customer’s preferred choice.
Since their inception, the 875 E Hybrid material handlers have been instrumental in helping PK Terminal OÜ increase the efficiency of port operations. The SENNEBOGEN material handlers combine the impressive speed of mobile cranes, which are commonly used alongside rope cranes for loading and unloading large machinery, with a superior budget and an excellent balance between loading times and vessel sizes compared to operating costs.
