FLOATING CRANES
HHLA’s two floating cranes can shift project cargo and break bulk weighing up to 300 tons. And this not only in the Port of Hamburg, where the floating cranes are available everywhere at a minimum of notice, but also all down the Lower Elbe to Brunsbüttel. The floating cranes go into action wherever the objects cannot be loaded by container gantry cranes or other shore-based equipment because of their size and/or weight. The individual cranes can heave loads of 100 and 200 tons, respectively, or also transport them by water.

History of the floating cranes
The first two HHLA floating cranes were built back in 1928. Their successors, built in 1941 and 1957, are still performing heavy-duty tasks to this day.
