Coeymans, NY, USA — July 10, 2025 — E-Crane^® once again takes a bold step forward with the successful delivery of its first mobile crawler crane to the Port of Coeymans (USA). This impressive machine, weighing 600 tons, combines exceptional performance with unmatched mobility – a true world first in its class.

New 3000-Series E-Crane® with a reach of 44,5m (145 ft) unloading salt with 16 m3 (22 yd3) clamshell at the Port of Coeymans.

E-Crane^® CEO Lieven Bauwens explains:
“This crane offers a reach of 44.5 meters (145 ft) and a lifting capacity of 39 tons. Its extremely short swing radius of just 10 meters (34 ft) provides outstanding maneuverability – even in tight terminal environments like the Port of Coeymans. This level of mobility is made possible by a unique three-crawler portal with true steering geometry and a clearance height of 6 meters (20 ft).”

Matt Hofmann, operations manager at Carver Companies, adds:
“I’ve had a lot of experience with our floating E-Cranes^®, but I was especially looking forward to the new tilting spreader for our skips. Alongside the crane, a specially engineered spreader was commissioned, designed specifically to handle our bulk buckets – or skips. During initial testing with gravel, we managed to load and dump up to 22 tons per cycle with ease. That exceeded even my most optimistic expectations.”

Bauwens concludes:
“Carver Companies is the kind of customer that always pushes us a little further. They challenge us, inspire us, and motivate us. They think ahead, roll up their sleeves, search for solutions, and aren’t afraid to break new ground. We’re grateful for their trust and the constructive collaboration throughout the development of this tailored solution for the Port of Coeymans.”

The commercial deployment of the special spreader followed shortly after testing, with the successful loading of scrap into a Handymax-vessel. The new concept proved its value from day one. With this mobile crawler crane solution and the development of a dedicated skip spreader, E-Crane^® once again confirms its role as an industry pioneer in bulk material handling technology.

Bulk pan handling has never been easier, safer, or more efficient. It takes the wheel loader longer to fill the 22-ton gravel pan than it takes the E-Crane to swing 120 degrees and unload the material onto the stockpile. Switching between grab and bulk pan is quick and effortless thanks to the E-Crane quick connect system. This makes the E-Crane the most versatile piece of equipment on the terminal.
