The Port of Felixstowe requires four (4) ship to shore quay cranes for the handling of ISO containers and other defined loads with challenging technical specifications, particularly with regard to wheel load bearing capacity. Potential suppliers must have supplied quay cranes to operating container terminals within the past three years, they must also be able to meet the technical specification on outreach, lift height and capacity required without any deviation to the stringent wheel loading constraints. Potential suppliers must develop and submit a detailed design and full supporting calculations within the timelines that is ready for independent third-party analysis.
