Liebherr’s STS (ship to shore) experts at the production site in Killarney, Ireland, have successfully completed a cabin replacement for a ship-to-shore crane at Dublin Port. This replacement was part of a comprehensive Liebherr Transform service for their customer, Dublin Ferry Port Terminals (DFT).
The Liebherr STS, originally supplied in 2003, is one of three cranes operated by DFT. The latest cabin design features an ergonomic driver’s console, state-of-the-art touchscreen, and human-machine interface. The upgrade provides improved comfort and efficiency for crane operators and enhances overall productivity.
In addition to the cabin replacement, DFT also chose to reduce energy consumption by upgrading to LED flood and access lights. They also opted for a new boom control system that enables the operator to control booming up and down from the driver’s cabin, thereby speeding up operations and enhancing safety.
