Plant and equipment
A fleet of fork lift trucks, ranging from 4-tonne to 29-tonne capacity, with a wide range of attachments, are available to meet all cargo handling requirements.
Road haulage, including a drop-sided HGV, an articulated tractor unit and two 40-tonne low-loaders, is provided for internal tranportation of cargoes within the port estate.
Quay aprons and construction
Minimum apron width at both Corporation Quay and East Quay, Hendon Dock is approximately 17 metres.
Corporation Quay is partially constructed on monoliths and fully capable of supporting heavy lift mobile cranes, as demonstrated by the regular export of Liebherr cranes and handling of other project cargoes. It is essential, however, for the port's engineering section to be consulted in advance regarding the safe positioning of heavy craneage.
