Product catalog summary
Overview: Hyundai Samho Heavy Industries Co. Ltd., the fourth-largest shipyard in the world, has significantly increased its production capacity with the help of Goliath Gantry Cranes from Konecranes. The shipyard focuses on building tankers, bulk carriers, and container ships.
The Challenge: The shipyard aimed to triple its production rate, which was previously one ship every three months.
The Solution: Four massive Goliath cranes, with the largest being 142 meters tall and capable of lifting 1,650 tons, were installed. Hyundai Samho manufactured most of the cranes, while Konecranes provided the hoists, lifting mechanisms, and control systems. The cranes are designed for safety and stability, featuring 96 wheels and 42 electric motors for precise control.
The Results: The installation of the Goliath cranes has allowed the shipyard to launch a ship every month, effectively tripling production. Goliath cranes have become increasingly popular, with half of Konecranes' global supply now operating in South Korea. The cranes are durable, with the steel structure lasting indefinitely with proper maintenance, and electrical systems updated every 20 years.
