Transford 有限責任公司（Transford）于2020年第三季度訂購了兩臺高效節能環保的科尼Gottwald港口門式起重機，用于其在黑海附近的格魯吉亞西南海岸的波季港的業務運作。起重機將于2021年年底交付并調試，用于裝卸集裝箱和散裝貨。

In the third quarter of 2020, Transford LLC (Transford) ordered two eco-efficient Konecranes Gottwald Portal Harbor Cranes for their operations in Poti on the southwestern coast of Georgia by the Black Sea. With delivery and commissioning planned for the end of 2021, the cranes will handle both containers and bulk materials.

兩臺新型起重機將是科尼Gottwald 4型港口門式起重機，屬于G HSK 4440機型。其最大起升能力高達100噸，具有穩健的起重量曲線，最大工作半徑達46米，具有巴拿馬型集裝箱船所需的外伸距。輕量化單臂設計和超高的工作速度有助于提高散裝貨物裝卸效率。專為用戶度身打造的門架每角均配備10個車輪，以滿足當地的軌道負載要求。起重機配備外部電源，在減少當地排放和噪音的同時降低能源和維護成本。

The two new cranes will be Konecranes Gottwald Model 4 Portal Harbor Cranes. They are G HSK 4440 variants, giving a maximum lifting capacity of up to 100 t, a strong lifting capacity curve and a working radius of up to 46 m, with the outreach needed for container ships up to Panamax class. Its light, single-jib design and high working speed makes it highly productive and efficient for bulk cargo handling. The customized portals have 10 travel wheels on each portal corner to meet local rail load requirements. The cranes are equipped with an external power supply, eliminating local emissions and reducing energy and maintenance costs while simultaneously reducing noise.

“最初，我們想要購買不同類型的起重機。后來，一些當地的業界人士告訴我們，科尼集團提供性能卓越的起重機。隨后，我們根據一系列移動式起重機類型展開調查研究。我們發現，科尼集團的確能夠提供我們所需的高效、可靠、定制型起重機。這類起重機有助于減少停機時間，提高備件供應力。”

“At first, we were looking for a different type of crane .Then some local industry contacts told us very good things about Konecranes. We investigated and found that Konecranes was able to provide the efficiency, reliability and customization we require, based on a serial mobile crane type, which gives us reduced downtime and high spare part availability.”

Transford創立于2010年，隸屬于PACE集團（格魯吉亞最大的運輸公司），專業從事波季港裝卸和倉儲業務。作為主要港口和工業中心，波季港經鐵路與300公里開外的首都第比利斯相連。格魯吉亞正在穩步發展成為該地區的國際運輸走廊。Transford專注于集裝箱和散裝貨物裝卸服務。隨著業務的不斷拓展，Transford決定為其在港口運營的四個泊位再購置兩臺起重機。

Transford was founded in 2010 as an affiliate of PACE Group, Georgia’s largest transportation company, to provide stevedoring and storage services at the Poti Sea Port. The town is a major port and industrial center, with a railway connection to the capital Tbilisi over 300 km away. Georgia is steadily developing into an international transport corridor for the region. Transford focuses on container and bulk cargo handling, and with business expanding they decided to acquire two more cranes for the four berths they operate in the port.

“贏得新客戶訂單是令人激動的一件事。”科尼港口解決方案區域銷售經理Hans-Juergen Schneider對此有感而發。“令我們感到自豪的是，Transford對我們的移動式港口起重機技術信賴有加，并對我們滿足起重機門架平臺特定需求的能力信心倍增。客戶口碑始終是市場營銷不可或缺的一部分。令人欣慰的是，這一地區的其他客戶對我們的品牌承諾和卓越服務感到滿意，因而對我們的產品大加贊賞。”

“It’s always a pleasure to receive an order from a new customer,” says Hans-Juergen Schneider, Regional Sales Manager for Konecranes Port Solutions. “I’m pleased that Transford was convinced by our mobile harbor crane technology and our ability to adapt it to their specific requirements in a portal platform. Good word of mouth is always the most convincing form of marketing, and I’m glad that our other customers in the area are satisfied with our commitment and service, and therefore spoke well of us.”
